[quote=Anonymous]With the sloped ceiling how much useable space are you gaining? I live in 2 story semi detached 1909 house in a southern city. Have been up in my attic in the summer and cant imagine the amount of AC required to make it tolerable! You should really consult a roofer experienced with older homes. Lived in a 1940s house in Chevy Chase where someone tried to insulate the attic. Caused mold under the insulation the roof. They did not leave enough venting. We had it all pulled out, remediated and roofer added ventilation. Lucky for us all found in inspection so lowered the sale price! Took it back to an unconditioned space. The ceiling was so low most of it was unusable anyway. [/quote]
