Blowing your own Insulation

[Dice]

Need to blow some Insulation in my Attic, has anyone does this themselves? It looks not to bad, buy 10 bags from HomeDepot and you get the blower for free for a day.

Any tips?

Get a pair of cheap white/disposible coveralls, gloves, respirator and duct tape. Tape the coverall sleeves and legs before blowing in!

Go onto an insulation site and introduce yourself as a newbie... and see if THEY greet you with open arms.............. :ROFLMAO:

I couldn't resist that one............. :Oops:​

Sorry Gino, I don't get it.

Also the new insulation is not fiberglass, it's something else.

Make sure everything is sealed up tight or you will have a fine layer of dust in you whole house.

I should be very easy. Just search Youtube for videos. Also don't fall through your floor/ceiling.

So how is it going? Is everybody half drunk and itching all over? I couldn't envision it happening any other way at my house.

I recently had my office ceiling done with blow in insulation. They charged me like $300.00 and were done in less than an hour. It was worth the money to not have to crawl up there and try and do it myself.
