Ive got attic trusses in my house. Top cords are 2 x 6 and bottom cords are 2 x 8 with 2 x 4 knee walls on either side. Im putting in R-19 paper faced under the attic flooring and top cords with baffles. The truss ends (outside the attic space) will receive R-38 batts laid over the drywall which is about to be installed. 2 x 4 knee walls will receive R-13 paper faced.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ways to improve? Blown in insulation in the truss ends maybe?

Thanks!
