Tom Kraeutler asks,
I am the new owner of a brand new contractor grade Colonial home, and would like to install a small storage area in the attic, at floor level. The problem is, in addition of having the standard pink insulation in between the joists, I also have about 16″-20″ of blown in white insulation. One white layer of snow……
I’ve researched everywhere and everyone seems to have a different opinion on how to go about doing this. Elevate the floor? Or just rake the white stuff aside and lay the plywood over the joists? Please help! I already have the pull down stairs in one of the bedrooms to go up into the attic.
Have you considered mounting shelving to your trusses to sit above the insulation?
