Question:

Does anyone know how to insulate an attic better?

Do you think I could do it myself? I am 32 and in pretty good shapeshould I just go to Lowe's and buy some and roll it up there?

Answer:

Yes, it's fineKeep an eye on it until you learn the peculiarities of your crockpot.
blowing is generally the best if you use fiberglass rolls run them in opposite direction of insulation below your attic in cold climates should be at least R-40 but if you exceed R-50 it doesn't help muchyou need to make sure you do not block your roofs venting if your eaves are vented they sell Styrofoam units (proper vents) to maintain this, very important or you could end up with condensation problems! if yo do blow it a trick to help keep even depth is every 10' or so put a stick set to the height you want it keeps the insulation at proper height without wasting it to heavy, or to thin inadequate
