That is a job to start at 4:00 in the morning. FYI-Make sure you check the duck work and it isn’t leaking conditioned air into the attic

Oh! Good call. I do need to check that.

ETA:

Son of a bitch. Thanks for the reminder. I forgot that I had found an issue on my air handler last year. I taped the piss out of it with the foil tape. Just went check it and it had popped the tape. Stuck it back down for now and I can feel much better air flow in the rooms in question. Heading to Lowe’s now to get some more supplies to make a better repair.

OP, it's going to take two or three people. One in attic, one to feed the blower and one to haul bales of insulation.

Will need a good respirator too!

I'm fixing to do this.
