Challenge 3:
Poor Ventilation
The attic was not properly ventilated, causing heat buildup and reducing the lifespan of the insulation.
Solution
The installation of baffles and an attic solar fan addressed the ventilation issues, ensuring proper airflow and reducing heat buildup.
Challenge 4:
Insulating Cathedral Ceilings and Dormers
The cathedral ceilings and dormers in both bedrooms presented a challenge for insulation due to their shape and structure.
