Gainesville, FL | In the soffit areas go below the existing insulation. Above the bedroom area would ideally be insulated as well. Be a difficult area to put batts in, perhaps blown in cellulose. |

I don't understand. It looks like you drew a pic with soffits and overhang but say there aren't any. Does your roof have an overhang? |

I'm guessing you mean your soffits are not vented. Either way, just insulate up to where the first floor exterior wall meets.

Gainesville, FL | That's the way I read into it as well, no vents. |

Gainesville, FL | Reference Erietech's last illustration where he denotes "crawl space insulation". The two lines he drew for that insulation and rafter insulation bisect in a soffit area. I suggested taking his rafter insulation below the top of the crawl space insulation into the soffit area.
If he had soffit vents he would want to install insulation channels first before insulating. No vents so moot point, filling in any infiltration area with insulation is ideal. |
