Insulating my loft

I hope you wore your mask!!! No fun sneezing out black, dusty fibres for the following 2 days (voice of experience here lol).

Nice to get something back from the government once in a while :)

Hi M. Yes wore the mask off cam all the time. as you can see I had to ditch my glasses though, they kept steaming up. Yes, especially when we've probably paid for it 10 times over already in "green taxes" or at least will do over the next couple of years. They are taking this enviro stuff way too far now.

I found this type of attic insulation a few years back that I could just roll out in my attic and not touch the fiberglass. It had some kind of thin plastic around it. It was like two inches thick and then after you rolled it out it kept growing and growing to over a foot thick.
Great stuff but as I recall it wasn't cheap.

Hi Chuck, yes, I've seen that stuff. I think they call it space blanket. Bloody expensive though.

As far as fun weekends go, it's hard to beat one spent laying down attic insulation! I'm sure that you're glad to have this job crossed off your DIY punch list. :)

Hey DP, yes, really happy to get that one out of the way.

WOW Swipe!! what a job! You were not kidding around there with insulating. Man, I am in the same situation over here, my house was built in 1947 and has little to no insulation. :( and I am not all about breathing the fiberglass dust either. :( Major props to you for pulling it off, and all within 8 hours.

Thanks Mike. Sounds like you could really benefit from it too. It was bloody hard work though. Hopefully when I get my huge lounge window replaced in 2 weeks (seals have blown) I should really feel the benefit.

What a professional looking job Swipe. Nice one, but oh, what an awful job to have to do. Well worth it though.

Thanks BB. Yep, I hope will help. With it being a bungalow I could feel I was losing so much through heat the roof.
