David writes from Highland, Michigan: "I just insulated my addition, R38 in the ceiling, inside pitch 2.5/12 outside pitch 5/12 with a 2" spacer for insulation space. I have the attic baffles. I pushed the insulation to the outer edge of the wall's top plate. Where the Kraft paper contacts the top plate and trusses, it does not sit nicely due to the slight bend. Cold air easily comes through at the corners. I'm thinking about removing the paper where it contacts the top plate and trusses so insul can expand into the corners. Maybe remove the paper an inch from the inside wall surface. See any issues? I should not need the paper on top of the wall, outside of the interior air space."

Answer: I see no issue with that if the vapor retarder covers the ceiling below.
