ZypFoam

The orange puffy foam on the floor at the bottom of the photo is ZypFoam which is what we use to seal all of the cracks around the attic before it is insulated with the blow-in cellulose insulation.

Recess Lighting

If your home has recess lighting in the upper level of your home this is what it looks like in the attic. This can light can get very very hot and become a fire hazard if not properly handled. This can also be a source of leakage of conditioned air from the main part of the home.
