Also I was concerned that all the way around between the roof and the house is open in the attic to the outside. I can see my yard from up there and my neighbors house.
My question is is this supposed to be like that, the open part or is it supposed to be closed so nothing can get in the attic by flying under the roof?
I can deal with the other mess
Thanks
You mentioned that you recently had stairs installed in your garage ceiling. When I did the same recently (also in Bradford) I found that all of the original ceiling trim work (with nails) had been left up in the attic from the stair installation. If you had more than this amount of trim material then that would be unusual and not correct. The other issues you mentioned definitely need attention as others already posted.
