When we built our house a year ago, we insulated the 6" walls with Icynene foam. We also tried a new trick and sprayed 10" of it on the bottom side of the roof before we sheetrocked the ceilings. We used no insulation over the ceilings. I just went up in the attic, it is 78F while it is about 100F outside.
Normally, an attic would be about 140-150F on a day like this and six inches of attic insulation would do a marginal job defending against it.
The next time you build something you really need to think about Icynene, especially foaming the underside of your roof. Our electric bill for this 3500 sq ft house runs about $200 a month during the hot months.
