Fold down attic stairs? Might as well just leave the front door open. Properly sealing those up will usually result in a 200-500 CFM 50 reduction. If there is already R 38 up there the effective whole attic R value is below 9.

Pffft! You could have 30" of cellulose up there and it wouldn't really do anything but make money for the cellulose manufacturer.

Sorry to be a negative Nelly everyone. I know I'm not being productive. I'll simply refrain form paying attention to such posts in the future.
