16-1  Example of roof insulation: ventilation, R-30 fiberglass batt
above the ceiling joists, and a 2nd layer of R-19 fiberglass batt between
the joists.  A vapor barrier is then applied before drywall is installed.
 
16-2  Master bedroom ceiling insulation is done the same way.
Note in these two pictures where old framing pieces from elsewhere in the building
have been re-used (the old wood is dark, in contrast to the new).
