Guys,
My new home has about 12 inches of pink blown in fiberglass insulation in the attic. I live in Georgia so I guess this is "okay" but I wish there were more. My question is there are a few areas in the attic where there are "divots" in the insulation that I think should be filled in. Rather than rent a blower I feel I could probably fill them in by hand. I intend to purchase a bale of Owens Corning pink blow in and just walk the attic joists and "do it". I think one bale will be suffecient. Anyone see a problem with this? Also the home is "Can Light" crazy with most all of the can recessed lights completely covered by insulation. Is this a fire hazard? Okay to cover recessed lights with fiberglass? No way I would consider cellulose, but fiberglass is okay to cover cans, right?
Thanks for all your help on this.
