I've heard that I shouldn't keep a hot glue gun on its side because the glue could drip into an area that would be lethal.If the gun hasn't been in use for many hours, and the glue inside has dried, can I store it sideways?
When it's hot and you're using it you should put some thing under neath so the glue doesn't melt any thing or so the tip of the gun doesn't burn any thingI often put a few layers of aluminum foil under the glue gun and I don't have any issues with it melting or burning any thingIf the glue has dried and cooled you can store it with the glue in itI've done this for many years and haven't had any issuesOnce it's cooled off it shouldn't harm any thingYou can also re heat it with the glue in itIf you leave it standing while it's hot some times the glue can drip outWhen it's cooled down you can store it how ever you like.
Blown in insulation would be what you need on the upper storyProbably not much space to be rolling out battsIt should be open enough to get between the section between the roof and the ceilingAbout the only thing you could use thereAnd since you are spraying anyway, do the same on the bottom story.
