Blown in Fiberglass Insulation

blown-in insulation, fiberglass, SW Collins, toasty warm

Insulation, count em something like 80 bags total of the fluffy white stuff to blow on top of the 6 inch batts we’ve already got lining the ceiling. They blew an additional 12+ inches of insulation into all the attic spaces, sealing everything up and making a very energy efficient R-50 blanket across the top of our house. May seam unbelievable for me to say, but there is already a significant difference in how our home holds the heat as the sun sets into a cool evening.

Really amazed at what an incredible difference this insulation made. Everywhere in the house is running at least a few degrees warmer! Believe it or not, it’s 9 PM this evening and my family room is still holding steady at 80°F even with the thermostat set 8° cooler. This might be a bit on the warm side for most of you, but it’s perfect for me!!!

    Hi just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures
    aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
