Building an attic door insulation enclosure. Thoughts/Help needed...

RobbMeeX · 10-08-13, 07:54 PM

So, we've got the house and of course, now I've gone into saving obsession mode! I currently want to design an attic door enclosure to insulate the hole that is in my ceiling.

You guys know what i'm talking about. Any of you have any pics?

I'm thinking base box "frame" 2*"x5*"x10"x3/4"thick. This looks like it will net a lowly R3 of something like it... can I place a batt on top like the toupee of a hot air breathing bald man?

I was suggested by my inspector the "Battic Door" R50 insulation kit for $100. I am crafty and want to try to do my own, but if i'm going to spend more and not get good results, then premade will work... HELP!
