They were stapling batts in the roof rafters. I was brought
up to believe that you insulate rafters ONLY if attic was to
be occupied at least 90% of the time, and to insulate
just the attic deck(above the top floor ceilings).


Have things changed here in good ol 2015?

What if there are heating and cooling ducts up there? Shouldn't the
rafters be insulated to protect them, unless they themselves are fully
insulated....
