People put more weight in the attic than most other rooms
joists in attic are smaller but they will take the weight not aproblem , especially if they are all tied together by a floor

Right, Iā€™m assuming the area under it is. That is the way we do it for attic storage.

I just figured he wanted to know how to do it properly, and keep the integrity of the framing and insulation, but thatā€™s just me, :slight_smile:

I understand, but that double layer of insulation was there for a reasonā€¦ but I can see thatā€™s not of much concern :slight_smile: All I can add is, good luck!

I was going to suggest you move the fluff out of were you will be putting boards and replace it with high rated rolled insulation.
