I'm trying to find out more info on insulating my atticRight now, I have some horrid insulation on the floor of my attic's crawl space (the attic doubles as a master bedroom)I might as well have paper towels laying down, it's that crappy I'm wanting to replace/put more down soonMy question is, should I insulate the floors AND rafters? Or would that cause some vapor barier issues? I live in the midwest and will more likely be using the rolled batsThanks!

oooh ooooh oooh I just made this!! It's my version of yakisoba: Brown tofu/chicken whatever protein Add vegetables (ie broccoli, chopped carrots, peas, peapods etc) While this is cooking (on low!!) get a block or 2 (depending on how much you need to make) of ramen noodles (the cheap kind!) and parboil (that's fancy restaurant speak for cook mostly) while STILL IN THE BLOCK, ie don't break them up in the waterI find waving em for a minute and a half does the trickTake the WHOLE BLOCK and put it in with the veggies/protein and stir it up really wellThis is one of those situations where a wok comes in handyThen add the seasoning or your own soy sauce-esque creation, stir and serve!! you might need to add water, but it's pretty easy to tell if you doAlso, using aluminum foil and making bakeable packets is really easy and fast, use stuff like chicken with some herbs and zucchini, broccoli and carrotsRemember that raw chicken has lots of germs though so don't mix it with anything before it's cooked!!
Rice can be made ahead of time so all you have to do is micro to get in hot.So,stir fry either chicken or beef with some asian oyster sauce,throw in some chopped broccoli and carrots or just about any veggie over rice.You can also mix a tin of tomato sauce into the rice with sliced sausage and chicken-jambalaya.
Spaghetti, umm.sandwiches, salads.cant think of anymorebut a tip: While your making something, put another thing to cook
First of all, do not worry about creating a moisture barrier problemThese problems are more prominent with the use of plastic sheathing, etcNow, insulating your attic floor would reduce noise levels more than anything elseYou can get by by using a non-faced no paper backing R-19 Owens Corning rolled insulationAs for the rafters, I would recommend that you use a faced backing R-30 rolled insulation with the fiberglass side exposedBoth these two products are available at Home Depot or Lowe's you might want to check into the availability of a federal tax credit as wellGood luck !!!
