Question: Can I put plywood over the insulation in the attic to increase storage space?

Chris writes from Aurora, Illinois: "Can I put plywood over the insulation in the attic to increase storage space?"

Answer: It is OK to add plywood or anything breathable to the attic floor as long as the insulation is not compressed. If the insulation is compressed, it will lose some of its insulating value.
