New Years Weekend Project

We insulated the attic over New Years weekend and I wanted to put some pictures up. We ended up using fiberglass batts even though it took probably about three times as long as blowing would have, but we were able to put some really thick insulation in and control exactly where it went around heat sources like the fireplace. I did install ventilation baffles at the edges through in case we decide to go back and shoot some cellulose around the edges (of course, finding an insulation blower to rent turned out to be a problem as well).

One thing I couldn’t figure out was why aren’t there any soffit vents installed to allow free flow of air to ventilate the attic. I see them on only have the houses around here, and our house inspection noted nothing about it, I wonder if it’s not needed according to code?
