Insulation

This past week, the project around here was blowing insulation above the attic in the shed.  Bill bought the insulation from Community Lumber in West Bend.  They let you use the machines to do it with.  We used two of them.  Bill went up above with the two hoses and sprayed it all around while Tim and I fed the machines down below.

Bill said the bags of compacted insulation were 30 lbs.  You had to cut them in half with a knife and break the two chunks apart.  Half a bag is what fit in the machine at a time.  It wasn't hard and went fairly fast.  It only took about a day total to do.  I think the attic now has a R49 rating if that tells you anything.  The shed is now pretty well insulated.
