How to Install Fiberglass Insulation in Your Attic

When installing fiberglass insulation in your home, be sure to put the paper or foil vapor barrier facing toward the heated and cooled living area of the home (down in attics, up under floors, in on walls) to prevent condensation from occurring.
If you are applying an additional layer of fiberglass insulation to your attic, use unfaced insulation on top of the existing insulation to keep from trapping moisture between the layers.

i have 12″ of insulation in the attic, problem where a contractor put in the stove vent the snow has been melting, i added some insulation but this problem is still there, i could not get to the suffit area to put insulation on top of the pipe and i i did i would be blocking off any venting from there, actually the area they put the outside vent at that location is blocked, can i stuff that 1 section with insulation? i never noticed this until i moved upstairs in the garage and been like this for a long time.
thanks mike
