I like the idea of gaining some attic storage space at reasonable temperatures so a wider variety of items can be stored there. When you say " we sprayed the ceiling" I assume you mean you sprayed foam insulation between the rafters. Insulating between the rafters can also be done with batt insulation but it has to be done correctly otherwise you run the risk of trapping moisture that could lead to wood rot of rafters and roof. Did you hire a third-party contractor to do the sprayed-on insulation or was it part of a new house construction?
