said by kherr:So I need to get some more insulation in my attic. Batts would be really hard to do. I was looking at the Atticat at HD but :
1) No way to transport blower
2) No one to help if I could get a blower
3) I won't be getting enough bales to use the blower for free
Previously I took bags of recycled paper type blow-in and cut them open in the attic. Then I used a rake to move it around and fluff it up.
Is the O/C Atticat compressed too tight to do the same thing. I'm only going to use about 5 bails.
I had a similar problem, no help, no way to transport.
I used a 5 gallon bucket and a drill motor with a big paint mixer/grout blade to fluff the paper type insulation with in the bucket. Then I would carry the bucket up the ladder to the attic and dispense. It went very very slow, but it worked.
