Should skylight wells be insulated?
Yes. Skylights on roofs typically have a light well that extends through the attic. This light well should be insulated to prevent heat loss into the attic. The air/vapor barrier should be on the warm side, which is the side closest to the interior finish. The light wells can be thought of as conventional walls, exposed to the attic. These are similar to knee walls.

When installing new central air in a single story ranch with no existing duct work should the duct work go in the attic or the basement if both are an option?
The answer is that "it depends". If the attic isn't insulated, put it in the basement to save on heating/colling costs. If your basement has a tendency to get damp, put it in the attic or you'll risk blowing mold and mildew around in a few years. Whatever area you put it in, make sure the ducts are well insulated.
