View Full Version : Insulation in ceiling?

09-02-01, 04:14 AM
I am restoring an early 1920s round mohogany occasional table. It has a mohogany veneer lip that encircles the top of it that is badly chipped. I need to know what is the best way to repair the chips? There is also a bad cigarette burn in the middle of the top, that I need advise on repairing?

I am about to tear out celing tiles in a bedroom. We live in Ohio in a slab house with full attic. Do I need any additional vapor barrier for ceiling and walls, or is the combination of paper barrier (already on the insulation) and drywall adequate?

If you have existing kraft faced insulation in your ceiling and walls and do not plan on upgrading it, then do not put any additional vapor barrier over the kraft faced insulation...
