The problem
Mr. Benchimol's attic was very poorly insulated and the insulation had not been changed for years.
The solution
Redo the attic insulation, starting by removing the fiberglass to blow out 16 in. of cellulose. This will give an R60 thermal value to the attic.
Cellulose insulation is a highly effective material that will raise your insulation R-value to the recommended levels that your attic needs.
