Attic insulation with leaf blower

It's Red Green's son!

[RoberTastic]

LOL this is so funny. There's bound to be a far better way to do this using tubes and a cardboard box

[DOLRED]

Great Redneck method. Some guys use a leaf blower to clean the coils on the refrigerator. Do that only when the Mrs is not home. When she asks "what happened to the kitchen?  You tell her that a sudden duststorm came up in the neighborhood while she was gone.

Home Depot will give you the machine to use for free when you buy the cellulose, you just have to leave a deposit.

Hi it sounded good, but then there was no sound, it looked interesting but it was so dark you could not get a clear idea about how it was done.

[jcfbell3001]

what about the soffit vents?

[nosehitfloor]

LMAO!

Wow, I've seen a lot of crazy things.  This is tops. Now, to make the home even more comfortable and energy efficient install a radiant barrier on top.

[smazz104]

good stuff but most of the big box stores will let you use their blower for free if you buy enough bags ;)

[pmanson0624]

good job

My blower is outside on the ground so no need to carry bags to the attic. It's as easy as pickup up leaves and actually easier. I know they loan the machines but too heavy and I don't have a truck. I might put up a video showing the steps to make this work. My blower is made by Homelite. Remember if you use a gas blower make sure you know where the exhaust is going!

[junkymagi]

I'd be more worried about the intake. That much dust will clog the intake really fast.

And the exhaust would need to be ducted outside or you'd kill yourself or give yourself brain damage from the CO.

[spunright]

junk not sure if you're responding to my post but I ran my blower outside in the garage. I disconnected the down the tube pipe and RTV'd the hole so no exhaust went into the attic. I blew over 40 bags and it was easy and it never glogged.

[spunright]

I came up with a similiar scheme prior to seeing this video but better. I bought 60' of 3" RV sewer hose which screws into the tube on a gas powered VAC ATTACK leaf blower. This blower has down the tube exhaust so I removed the pipe that channels the exhaust to the fan and sealed the fan housing with RTV to prevent fumes from going into the attic with the cellulose. I was able to blow 9 bags in 1.5 hours with no clogs in the tube.

i do weatherization for a living and i have to say that for an amature it probobly does take a long time for an amature to set up and adjust an insulation blower. Depending on how much time it takes u to actually get the bags of cellulos in the attic it may actually be easier.

Actually probobly a good idea if your only blowing like 10-20 bags.

GETTO AS HELL!!!

[blugularis]

home depot loans you the machine for free, dorkhead

This video is proof that we have more work to do to rid the gene pool of human turds....what a pathetic example of worthless human debris.

[CBum425]

Ya know, I think you are the type of person we need to weed out of the gene pool. This is a rather ingenius method of doing a really nasty job!!!! Give the dude credit for at least making it fun...........

[jaxxonuk]

jesus what a cowboy method and product.

[icephoenix23]

Haha, we spent hours building something to reverse what you just did! (to lay down the pink insulation)

[parts67]
