How not to insulate your attic

Although installing insulation in an unheated attic is usually a fairly straightforward job, a variety of pitfalls await the unwary. So, since cold weather’s approaching in most parts of the country, here’s a list of common attic insulation mistakes, maladies, and oversights. Look it over, and then pay a critical visit to your own “room at the top.” Don’t block vent areas in the eaves. Don’t push batt or blanket insulation past the top plate at the end of joist runs... or fold it back and up between the rafters ... or pour fill insulation in such areas. If you do, you’ll obstruct the flow of air from soffit vents (or, in older homes, from gaps between the outer wall and the roof). Don’t leave holes and gaps in the attic floor. Fill in the extra space around openings where pipes, ducts, and wires enter the attic floor, using unfaced fiberglass or caulk. Caulk nail and drill holes, as well. But... Don’t cover recessed light fixtures with insulation. Recessed light fixtures that are covered with insulation become extremely hot and present a serious fire hazard. Don’t place the vapor barrier wrong side up. Install foil- or paper-faced insulation with the facing side down. If the facing is up, moisture will become trapped in your insulation and turn it into an ineffective mess. Don’t use faced insulation for a second layer. If you decide to add a second layer of insulation, use only unfaced fiberglass or loosefill. Placing a vapor barrier on top of the original insulation could trap moisture and render the first layer ineffective. Don’t overinsulate, if you already have at least six inches of insulating material in your attic, you’d probably be wise to take other energy-saving measures before investing in another layer of attic insulation. Don’t pack insulation too tightly to try to make it fit. It’s the air trapped inside the insulation,

rather than the material itself, that resists the passage of heat. Take the time to cut blanket insulation to the size needed, and push it down only lightly. Don’t leave gaps and puckers in batt and blanket insulation. Be sure to install the sections with care, leaving no open space on either side or at the point where to sections butt together. Repair rips and tears in the facing with tape. Don’t put loose-fill insulation too close to an attic fan. Blown insulation will almost surely drift out of place when used near a fan. Use batts or blankets in such areas. Don’t allow animals to nest in the insulation. If you hear critters scurrying about in the attic, they’ve probably cleared sizable,

CPR class

Goshen Hospital is offering a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation class on Nov. 11 and Nov. 13, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the hospital’s education department. CPR is an emergency measure which almost everyone can learn in a short time. It may keep the heart attack patient alive until more advanced life support is available. When a person’s heart stops for any reason — heart attack, electrical shock, drowning, smoke inhalation — the first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. The American Heart Association estimates the 50,000 heart attack victims could be saved annually if emergency care were available at the scene. CPR can provide that immediate care. It involves mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest massage to restart the stopped heart. Its purpose is to keep the heart attack victim alive until advanced life support is available. Teachers, homemakers, students, policemen, businessmen, restaurant employees and families of heart patients should all take advantage of CPR training. With the knowledge of proper CPR techniques, a person may be able to save a life. Anyone interested in CPR may enroll by calling the education department at Goshen Hospital,

heat-leaking openings in the insulation. Evict the offenders, repair the damage, and try to find and block off all entryways. Don’t neglect to install enough vents in the attic. Mold, mildew, and rusty roofing nails suggest that your attic isn’t adequately ventilated. If your insulation becomes too wet, replaced any matted pieces, check to be sure all vents are clear, and install additional roof or gable vents if necessary.
