re: Adding Attic Insulation

I live in an old N.O. house that had no insulation in the attic and when I decided to insulate it I priced the rolls of insulation needed it was actually much cheaper to have a company come out and blow in insulation to a depth of around 12 inches into my attic.

This is not cellulose insulation but fiberglass pieces that were blown in the attic in one morning. Two guys showed up and 1 got in the attic with the large hose and 1 on the ground with the hopper he filled with the insulation that was blown in.

The only place the insulation is a bit compressed is where I've walked the joists to do stuff in my attic.

No way in hell I'd want to put rolls of insulation up in an attic, especially with summer approaching.
