insulation
Hi, I need advice on insulating my old house (105 yrs. old). There is
virtually NO insulation in the attic at all. Between the joists you can see the lathe and plaster. There are scatterings of insulation here and there that is basically usless and likely should be removed (since critters have used it as a urinal). My question is, if I put down batts of insulation, should I FIRST be putting plastic down as a vapour barrier. I think I read that some types of insulation comes with a built in vapour barrier on one side. I thought that I would remove the old rotted insulation that is currently there, put in batts of fresh insulation then blow in more on top. Any suggestions thanks Janet |
