Best bet for storing in attic is solid stuff like dishes, small furniture, but not wreaths etc. I learned a lesson!!! hehehehe
The builder used cardboard in my new Holly to keep the attic insulation in place. Good, bad or cheap? Same goes with my brother's house up the street.

Looks like it's ok, but if you could replace with plastic or thin plywood, would be better. The cardboard looks like there is no glue on it. Are they nailed?
