When insulation is covering all the studs, what is the easiest way to walk in an attic? Should I bring sheets of plywood and lay them down across the work area and path way? or is there a method I'm just not thinking of. I'm thinking of just wearing gloves then feeling through the insulation for the studs then keep walking that way.
Also do attics have tons of spider webs and stuff, or is it fairly clean up there? I'm not scared of much, but spider webs do bother me, just the feeling of them and what not. I suppose this varies from region to region though. This is a house that has a spider problem but from poping my head in and looking around with a flashlight I did not spot any obvious webs, just one really long one which a broom would take care of easily.
Lastly, what kind of setup do I need if I want to install pot lights? I would imagine those get pretty hot. Do I need to put some kind of barrier and heat sink and put the insulation around but not on top?
