>>Just a little thing to remember...depending on where the vapour barrier is in your walls and what kind of construction your house is made of, you can't always just toss more insulation on your walls. And of course this note is for exterior walls and it's definitely an issue in colder climates. I know the National Building Code of Canada lays out some rules so that your house doesn't become mold infested, I dont know about American Codes at all.

Thanks for the input but since this house is so old built in 1882 I will never be able to seal up everything completely.
Also I am not certain what I will do with the exposed walls but I can tell you where the drywall is in place on exposed walls is simply just screwed/liquid nails to horse hair plaster. It will be a learning experience and one that I plan to take slowly.
Basically I have a guess of what is under the attic floor and it certainly wont be a modern setup. With this in mind I plan to lay down the bubble wrap as best I can with Rxx on top but the beams will provide plenty of "space" so that moisture can escape.
