My attic is insulated with wool. Not having any idea just how good that performs I had a mind to augment it with the pink stuff. But I'm wondering if I can just roll it on top of the wool, or should I remove the wool first. If I do, removing it will be a job I'd just as soon not do - I'd rather pay higher bills than do something like that. The other issue for me is that they covered up all the wires with the wool, so I don't have a clue where they are and that makes my job of re-wiring just a bit more difficult - as normally I would just clip the old stuff and run the new Romex through the hole left by the bad stuff as it dropped into the wall. But that adds a different question - in the attic, is wiring exposed/insulation cut around it like is done in a wall, or does the insulation cover it?
