Hey there Moline Guy. You already have lots of opinions on your foam idea, but I just wanted to put in a few more thoughts. Regardless of your insulation choice, was your attic insulated at the roof or at the ceiling before? I only ask because it depends on where your air/moisture envelope was before. It has to do with how the moisture and air will move through your house and how that would affect things. The spray foam itself (I believe you were thinking of icynene foam, I think they also make a soy-based one, but not sure there) is a good insulator for sure, since it blocks the wind infiltration. Its just going to be tough if you ever have to renovate again, since you cant run new wires or anything through it without routing it all out. Also, you should be able to get away with 1/2" gyp board unless your insurance company requires the 5/8" for a fire rating. Save your back and put up the lighter stuff :) Just my .02 on everything, and just a friendly reminder that Im not a contractor. Good luck regardless! ~Bug
