Consider cellulose insulation for the attic

Dear Glenn: My home is a small ranch that is 1,500 square feet and was built in 1958. I want to add attic insulation to the original layer of loose insulation that is already in place. What type of insulation would you recommend? Who would you recommend in the Lansing area?

Laurie, Lansing

Dear Laurie: Cellulose would be my first choice. Call Bob Carey at Draft Stop Insulation, (810) 329-9033, www.ismichigan.com.
