Re: Insulation type
Jeff,

So, the daylight being seen is from a soffit vent? Along a rake? (Gable end.)

Was there a 'soffit' there, such as, was that over a kitchen area which had a dropped ceiling?

If so, then the vertical side would also need to be insulated, as would the top of the part behind the insulation shown.

That plastic facing will also burn and should not be left exposed.

Kraft paper facing, foil facing, plastic facing, none of those facings should be left exposed as they all will burn.
