Kevin and I are finally in the home stretch of our garage construction and need to blow in the insulation in the attic - we have the materials, and a free rental of the machine, but no desire to do it ourselves.

Does anyone here do that? Anyone in our area (Bonnyville)??

HELP :)

If it is the Atticat stuff it is super easy to do, but boring, like watching paint dry! I did a 50 X 90 foot roof with 125 bags. Took me about 8 hours in total. Saved a lot of money doing it myself from the quotes I asked for. Good luck!

Difference for me to do my 30x30 to r40 renting the machine and insulation compared to having someone do it was a difference of $100.

I paid the guy. Done in 45min.

Gave it a try helping out. But the rental machine was junk & only pushed insulation about a foot into the tube & would jam up.
Hoping for a better machine nxt wknd.
