attic insulation in pocket door
JC home yesturday installed cellulose insulation yesturday in our house. Now I noticed, that this insulation came into the pocket of the pocket door on the second floor. Looks like there was no separator between the flat roof attic and the pocket door. The good news - cellulose if much easier to deal with when it spilled on the carpet then fiberglass. The bed news is: if i only would knew about this before putting insulation, I would crawl int the attic space and cover the opening above the door. So any suggestion how to deal with this situation right now? I guess I will need to dismantle doors and try to cover the opening though the pocket gaps.

If you can get to it from the door side (as opposed to going through the crawlspace) then get a few cans of spray foam. They should fill the voids and do the trick. Even if you have to wedge some wood up there as a filler, the spray foam will lock that in for eternity.

great point. I will get spray cans and attach long hose from the fish tank.
thanks a lot
