He mentions measuring the width of the joists, but this would have had to be done before ordering the insulation as you have to know what width to use I think

Have you ever thought about being gay?

Do I put the dead mice underneath or on top of the insulation? Instructions unclear

[@DarkIndigo21]

Very informative

[@JonathanBridenNZ]

In the video, you push the insulation all the way to the edges. In a real ceiling, those would be over the eaves in many cases, so shouldn't you only be insulating as far as the exterior wall?

Also what is left out of the video is the required 25mm gap between the roof underlay and the insulation. NZS4246 : 6.2.10 covers the details. So yes if you stopped at the wall it would help you get the required clearance.

@@TNTteddybear2024 is the insulation not supposed to touch roof?

[@mugentuner]

Yeah in my ceiling they left gaps over the eaves vents so they can vent out hot air
