"Return tools better than you found them." If only everyone lived by that rule, the world would be just a little bit more awesome! Nice job, Chris!

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Yes I believe it would. Thanks Mark

@krehbein 2 года назад

If your soffits were vented you should have added baffles so the insulation doesn’t cover the vents.

@Alan.Garcia01 Год назад

I did the same and while the results did make a difference I'm coming to find out I'm supposed to air seal.. so now here you have me undoing everything and man I wish I did it before blowing the insulation.

@promaterial 8 месяцев назад

Air seal? Please explain

@robertdinicola9225 3 года назад

We did the same stuff in our old house. Made a huge difference. One room used to be a carport and that and the kitchen had no insulation at all. Luckily we have short kids!

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Ain’t that the truth. Glad it worked out well for you

@robertdinicola9225 3 года назад

@@AGlimpseInside to do over the old carport i had to cut a 12" swuare hole in the gable and put a long paint roller handle on the hose shove it in to the back of thst attic. Just put a gable vent in the hole and nobody is the wiser!

@SpecificLove7 3 года назад

Always wondered how easy or difficult that would be. Thanks for showing us how, and now it's not so intimidating.

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Yeah buddy went really smooth. Let’s talk this weekend

@iamepimethus 3 года назад

It’s too easy. I did the fiberglass blow in, and it wasn’t as dense as what the cellulose appeared to be which made it a little more difficult to blow in evenly. If you need insulation in your attic I highly suggest doing it this way. I needed about ten bundles for my attic and I bought 15 (just in case) and I DUMPED that stuff in because I didn’t store anything in there. It made a hell of a difference. Although I went from literally 1/2” of 50+ year old insulation to a few feet. Good luck!

@bedongskifrombedongdesign1062 3 года назад

Remembers me I didn’t have a look at my attic in a couple of years, time to give it a look and maybe do a top up insulation, great team work by the way !!!

@stephanieSimmons214 3 года назад

Nicely done Chris! You guys are going to LOVE the energy savings and will really feel the difference this makes in the summer heat!

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Stephanie thank you so much. That’s such great news to hear. Looking forward to it in the upcoming months

@BooyaJoe 3 года назад

Frickin' cool that you did this. Great timing as we're about to do this in our attic to top ours off. Thank you!

@toddtusler1024 3 года назад

thank you for the reassurance on this. im actually getting ready to do this in a couple weeks!

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Awesome it goes pretty quickly I think you’ll be surprise yourself fast this thing works

@bigsparky65 2 года назад

Very nice job Chris, the only problem that I seen. Those can lights, were they rated to have insulation around them. If not then that could cause a problem.

@bairdjc Год назад

The most difficult part to blow-in is in prep, not the actual blow-in process itself, like many projects (like painting). Sealing up attic penetrations, protecting soffits, etc, will take much more time than actually blowing in the insulation.

@heyzeuss Месяц назад

Baffles watching this video: 🤦‍♂️ I don't even have soffit venting and I'm a novice diyer. I still added baffles because you don't want insulation touching your roof deck.

@iamepimethus 3 года назад

I did the fiberglass insulation that way. Great easy way!

@kursorken Год назад

How much change did you see after that? I noticed you didn't seal the light fixtures, and not install a baffle so now your soffit vent may be blocked. I think you may find your attic hotter in the summer, which is probably too bad for northern countries.

@johnfithian-franks8276 3 года назад

Hi, you still have some holes along the eves of the roof, if you do not seal them you will get rodents getting in and nesting in the insulation. I had a load of that stuff blown into my attic, I ended up with rats in there, and it was very difficult to get rid of them.

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Understandable. Those holes have screens protecting them at the moment. They’ve been rodent in bird approved already sir I appreciate the concern no need to worry over here

@stomperthemixer1 3 года назад

awesome Vlog and team work guys, I'll be looking into this for my home. dont like spiders so i'll load the bin and the wife can do the attic. Stay safe Chris.

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

My wife hates spiders as well. That’s why she was not up in the attic

@MCsCreations 3 года назад

Pretty interesting process, Chris! 😃 Happily we don't need it here in Brazil. It's never that cold! 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Always good to hear from you. Hope all is going well south of the equator and again thank you so much

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Also I did it because it’s so hot. It’s never really cold here either

@zafarsyed6437 3 года назад

Good job. However, I'm impressed your wife did the loading w/out wanting a P100 mask (my wife would have wanted me to switch masks if she had to do the loading)

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

It was a very short job we figured the protection we had was going to be adequate. Thanks for the concern brother

@frankmurphy5 2 года назад

Nice video. I'll be doing this soon.

@barryfigel9957 3 года назад

My father went to The Sawmill and got sawdust and did the same thing in the ceilings and the walls

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Hey that’s one way to do it

@ChevyGuy70 3 года назад

Ill have to give that a try👍

@WhiteTigerHouston 3 года назад

I noticed that you added plywood up there. Did you spray in the insulation under that and does that impact the R-value as well?

@AlexandruGheorghiu 3 года назад

Is it true? 4k? YAY!!

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

I know I upgraded. Thanks for noticing

@anthonysmith9410 3 года назад

Great insulation job

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Thank you brother

@rodpotts6317 3 года назад

I need to do the same thing.ours is getting pretty thin.

@tomhostetter8516 3 года назад

I need to do this to our 1200sq ft home, can you go over costs of doing this yourself? I was quoted $1750.00 to do this in my attic space. Thank Chris

@AGlimpseInside 3 года назад

Of course all the insulation was around $100 to rent the machine was a $150 all day rental. Other than that we didn’t prep for too much so we were in it for $250 for sweat equity

@brigettelefort6828 2 года назад

how much square feet did the 11-12 bags cover? I have a 1600sft area that needs some, it currently has 1 or 2 inches but we need more . I am looking to have a total of 12-13inches total . Thank you
