Phil from church helped me put some more insulation in our attic today. It wasn't too thin, but there were some paths that needed more and just a little extra everywhere. He's done this several times and said that it wouldn't take too long, but I didn't really know what that meant.
Anyway, it took a bit to get started. With purchase of insulation from Lowe's you can rent the blower to put it in the attic, but the hose didn't have the correct attachment. Well, Phil said no way to that and immediately went back to get the correct attachment. He had messed around with the hose without the attachment before and said it just doesn't work. So a little bit of extra time there, but we also didn't have to spend time finding out it didn't work.
After that everything went really, really smoothly! The new hose also had a remote control, so either of us could turn the machine on or off. I was in charge of halving the bags and sticking them in the paddle machine. Most of the time this went well, but there was one bag that had opened up before I got to it and the insultation had expanded too much to go in the machine. I stuffed it in by handfuls until I could put it in the other way. And really, if that's what I have to write about it means everything really went well. We also have some insulation over the garage now.
