what are some foods that are high in fiber and protein?
Insulation works by inhibiting the transfer of energy or lack of energy to another areaSo yes it works for cooling and heating, but it does no good to only block air flowTry putting a thermometer inside a blown up balloon and put it in the fridgeThe air inside the balloon didn't travel from the outside into the insideIt merely transferred the lack of energy into the balloon and the air in the balloon got coldAdditional venting of the attic can help keep the house cooler but most important it keeps it dry.
The insulation will not affect your electrical wiring, even around junction boxesThere is one area of concern, howeverIf you have recessed can lighting, you need to determine whether they are designed for contact or non-contact with insulationIf they're not rated, and a re newer fixtures, they will automatically turn off when they reach a certain heat limitIf they're really old, they might be a hazardBut many of today's recessed cans are designed to be fully covered with insulationIf they're not, simply leave a space around the perimeter of each can and they will function safely and properly.
I wouldn't worry about the actual electrical cable touching the insulationIf properly installed, electrical cable does not get hot to start a fireThe Junction boxes are the same way, you can cover them, just make sure they are accessable and the insulation can be easily pushed aside if you need to get into themThe only thing I would be worried about is if you have recessed lightingThere are 2 types of recessed lighting, one which can be completely covered in insulation, and others which have to have an air space around itIt usually says it right on the fixture if you can have insulation touching the fixtureIf you got recessed lighting that cannot touch insulation, then its just a matter of determing how much clearence it requires and if your laying fiberglass you can just not insulate that area, or if your using blown in insulation, just build a little wooden box to go around each fixture to prevent the insulation from touching itI don't have the specs infront of me, but if you go to home Depot look at the fixtures there and it should give you an idea of what you have to do.
Some great high fiber products are cereal, especially ones that say high in fiber like raisin bran, whole grain breads, fiber pasta (wheat pasta) broccoli or salads greens Protein.eggs, meat, nuts, peanut butter, protein bars.i find if i have some protein in the middle of the day at work vsjunk food I stay less hungry and have more energy :) Usually some PNB.:)
don't worry about itthe wires won't set your insulation on fireYou're right about recessed lighting needing to be kept a certain distance from insulation, but they make a special type of can/recessed lighting to keep that from being an issueYou can't find anything on it because it isn't a problemVery smart of you to ask, not enough people worry about fire safety when they remodel.
