Do you use your uninsulated attic for storage? And if so, for what? I have been told it is wicked hot up there and insulating along with the solar fans can reduce the temperature as 30 degrees.

Yes we do use it for storage and obviously don't put candles or other heat sensitive things there. I understand that even with solar fan it still is hot as hell up there. Someone posted how hot and I bet they will read this and post again. I was astonished how hot it is in an attic even with solar fan. I suppose moving the air could help with the humidity but not sure how that would work.
My husband has added a lot of shelving in garage. I see your point and think it is a very good idea to do it right away. It is so helpful to share information on here because again, you have made a valid point that I wouldn't have thought of.
Hope you enjoy every day in your new home and that I will meet you soon to welcome you in person.
Kindest wishes,
Gracie
