I believe it is blown insulation as well.

I usually find improper depth for R-value, non-IC rating on cans, and blocked soffit vents.

Really????
You guys must think I am really stupid. I am pretty sure I know what fiberglass and styrofoam looks like since I am in it every day.

It was ground up styrofoam...

It wasn't perlite either (Wayne your a butthole)
