Attic Insulation: Adding Insulation to a Previously Finished Attic- Darren Lombardo

Darren Lombardo, of Home Energy Solutions demonstrates how to insulate the floor of a previously finished attic that was not originally insulated by the builder.
The dilemma was that the sub floor had two staggered layers of plywood that could not be opened without the disastrous consequence of time, money, and structural integrity. Darren shows you how to easily insulate the floor with R-30 fiberglass batts without tearing up the entire floor. Source: http://www.reducemyenergy.com

How ironic. He spent the beginning of the video talking about wearing a mask, but then he goes and stuffs the insulation without a mask or gloves. lol

Maybe ironic, but try doing a documentary with a mask on.........I risked my lungs so you can learn!

Excellent how-to in a seemingly impossible scenario.

Hey Darren, Thanks for the tips!! Insulating the living space will help conserve energy. I wonder why this attic was half done.. Please come visit our channel....

@infoworkz1 It's a good video no doubt, it's just you wanna make sure you do what you preach. Because students are like children, and they soak in every little detail. I recently made the same mistake and was removing some insulation batting without a mask, I quickly felt it in my lungs shortly after. Not fun.
