New insulation installed over existing - vapor barrier question
Hi and thanks for your help.
I live in Ohio, and this past weekend I installed fiberglass insulation over top of some (about 2-3 inches) of blown in insulation. The mistake I made was not removing the paper backing vapor barrier. Well, actually the first mistake I made was not reading about how to do it prior to actually doing it; but that's another issue. Anyway, damage done. My question: is it sufficient to simply go back and cut some holes in the back of the strips (each strip was 24" X 48") of insulation, or do I need to completely remove the paper backing? Thanks Doug |
