My neighbor's next-to-nothing insulation looked like this across her attic:
The temperature dropped to the 80s so we decided to tackle the insulation in her attic. It was still really hot up there and took some contortion in order to get the bundles in the back of the small angled portion of the attic, but we did it with the help of one of her friends in about three hours. Like many sports, we took time-outs and water breaks; we had our endurance tested and sprinted at the end; we had to think out strategy and execute; and got very very sweaty. I mean... check out my
oompa loompa get-up.
Anyway, I'm pleased to post this picture of her newly insulated attic! We're exhausted, sore, and even itchy, but have planned to do this to my attic on Wednesday night. We feel like we have a good system down and are hoping to be able to do it in 2 hours this time! Wish us luck.

It only took you three hours to insulate the whole attic? Wow, that shows your experience in DIY home projects! Insulating an attic may look simple, but you have to plan it carefully. On that note, it’s important to consider first how much insulation you really need. Doing this won’t only save you money; it will also lessen the amount of effort that you have to exert.
