hi,
I am finishing the drywall in my deattached garage and I am starting the ceiling, and insulating it. I am using unfaced batts (got a great deal in bulk) of insulation that is laid in the rafters. Does the attic insulation need a vapor barrier?
If yes, plastic or paper and on which side? if paper, can I use regular brown paper off a roll that you can pick up at Lowes and cut to size? also I will be putting up 8 finished light housings (each one has 4 flurescent bulbs, looks like a classroom light) into the drywall, do the lights need a certain code to be safe to touch insulation or have insulation cover them?
thanks
