Hi,
Im just about to start work on the attic, including putting insulation in then sheetrocking. I have done a little research, I need insulation around 6" thick.
I have calculated I need around 250-300ft of insulation which is obviously going to be a bit pricey. Does any recommend a type or make of insulation to get - I dont know what they R19 R39 etc means if anyone can also help.
I live in Philadelphia.
Thanks
