Question about attic framing

Hi folks,

My attic is seriously under-insulated, and I'm planning a project to correct this. In the course of poking around in the attic, I've found that my ceiling joists are 2x4's on 24" centers - is that at all normal? I expected to find 2x6's at 16", just as I have in my floor joists.

I'm not planning to install decking or use the attic for storage, so I'm not really concerned from a structural standpoint... I'm more curious about it than anything. Anyone know anything about this?

Hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving!

Dave
