Default Replacing attic insulation

I was planning to remove the old insulation because it is compressed
almost flat as well as missing in some areas. If it's better to leave
the old stuff in I can do that but I am not worried about messy or
hard work if the right way is to remove the old and install all new
insulation.


Fiberglass compressed almost flat????? How did that happen? Was
something stored on top of it?

In any case, I suggest leaving it and filling above it. If you have 10"
of fiberglass and compress it to 5" you will get about half the insulation
value as it had at 10" So just leave it and blow in additional above.
