I assisted with it. Once. FUCK!

I gotta be real, i'm not looking forward to it. I've been doing a shit load of research though. Imma go real slow, take my time, and make sure it's done right.

I bet you're looking forward to the part when things go wrong and you get to swear up a storm :D
Hopefully it goes as planned, the research part is hard without actually doing it, eh?

Yeah, i think i figured out the plan of attack. The insulation that's already up there is the blown kind, it's low, and i'm going to have to re insulate. I'm going to get R38 insulation and place it above the pre-existing blown shit to get it up to "code". I'll have to see if it'll free fit or if i'll need to frame the motherfucker. If i have to frame it, it's going to be a lot more expensive and a lot more time consuming, but whatever. The long run will make the home's resale value spike like crazy. After i (possibly) frame it, insulate it, sub-floor and floor it, it should make a huge difference in our home's power bill. That shit is currently unsat.

What kind of flooring are you thinking about?

If you mentioned this already, I missed it.

Sub flooring, then 3/4" plywood for now. We'll revisit it once that gets done as to what she wants it to be up there. Carpet might be nice. Not sure though. I haven't researched that far ahead yet.

The insulation can't have anything laying on top of it, (like, squishing it or it'll ruin the point) but it can have something covering it. So if it won't fit between the already existing rafters, i'd need to build something the flooring can lay on top of without squishing the insulation.

We chose perfo flooring at our last place because we knew we were going to sell. I have hardwoods now. But i don't have one bad thing to say about the pergo floor. Easy to clean, holds up under high traffic, and snaps together, fairly easy to cut. Easy enough that I helped. Lol. And it looks good.

Yes, slightly. Depends on what the level is up there. I haven't even been up there to measure yet. Just poked my head around a bit. This is all still in the reconnaissance phase.

@Alienator

However, I recommend shag carpet, walls included. Some black lights, cool posters, etc. some incense. Lol. Cool retro stereo found at thrift store. :D
