Thanks for the replies. As this was my own house, I did walk aorund it a bit. Gently kicked a few things, conduit/vents, etc. I was 99% sure i wouldn't find any exposed wire. Behind that wall was nearly two feet of the insulation. I didn't (?wouldn't/couldn't?) get to every corner of the attic, still not sure what I'd do if this was an attic for a client. It was surprisingly cool up there - guess ventilation is good!
I guess the most important thing is to be consistant in everything we do and make sure the client understands the limitations.
