Very creative and impressive. I blew this stuff into 120 degree attic and it sticks to a sweaty body, making a nasty experience, but not as itchy as fiberglass. .
Yeah its nice when you can time it for cooler weather. I've found cellulose performs better than fiberglass. Downside is it dusty and when you remodel it gets everywhere!!
Great stuff man. Glad the plastic mesh held up. Cellulose is some heavy stuff. Blown in is perfect because it fills those cracks, this is coming from an attic insulator 😁. Plus the cost is nice.
I went to the recycling center (I'm a pack rat) and someone tossed out a 10,000 BTU AC (roll around). Well ofc I'm not going to leave it, seeing it didn't look hurt and probably needed gassing up. I thought this will save me some money on cooling my little barn/shop. Anyway, me being me it sat in my yard all last year... This year it's been so dang hot (coastal SC 107⁰) I had to see what was up with the unit. I get to blow it out with the air hose and everything looks good. Drag out a drop cord and plug it in..... What do you know...... It got ice cold!! That was 4 days ago... it's still blowing cold, note it is a little noisy but hey.. Now my shop is cool, not cold, and that's why I'm checking your video out. The shop has a tin roof. No insulation. No ceiling. And you can hold your hand up and feel the difference in temperature. Question. Is there anything I can paint or spray on the tin from the inside. Because I can't get on top of the shop to "cool seal" it
You have solved my problem. Thank you for taking the time to share. Where did you get the machine to blow it in and the fabric. I heard you got the material from lowes. Thank you sir so very much
That netting is usually covered up after you blow in the insulation. I wonder if it will let the dust of the cellulose insulation come out over time. Or if the netting will degrade over time.
I was at the store and I was going to buy cellulose insulation from greenfiber but it had such a strong chemical smell so I opted to get fiberglass rolls instead.
@@Challenged1 Well then , it’s kindof serendipitous that the “mistake” was made so that you ended up with 25” on-center between trusses - or you may have just gone with the rigid foam panels and not made this super helpful video ! Thanks a lot for all the info and the visuals , etc. . ! 👍🏼👏🏽🙄💸⏰🪚🔨🪜💵✏️✏️✏️
The more you pack it in there actually will decrease your R value. You’re misinforming people. R value is determined by the amount of air gap in the insulation, therefor packing it tight is actually detrimental...

Oh yes, and if your mask is an n95 it absorbs sweat and cellulose. The smell of wet cellulose is pretty nasty.
Thanks. I can imagine how miserable the job would be if it was hot.

Totally agree, thanks!

Before you do, watch this video first ua-cam.com/video/OP9mHyQ7Jqw/v-deo.html
Great video man! We’re getting ready to build my shop and I think I like your idea the best!
Wait until my video comes out tomorrow. I completely took down everything that I put up in this video. Interesting reason why

“You wanna get it as dense packed as possible to get the best R value”😂😂😂🙄

I'm glad you did. Check out this video I made where I had to tear all of the cellulose out of my shop ua-cam.com/video/OP9mHyQ7Jqw/v-deo.html
Where did you get the machine to blow this stuff in?
Lowes
Do you rent that insulation blower machine?
Yes, from Lowes
07:48 what insulation do you use?
One question, did you build the shop from scratch or was it an already standing building that you turned into a shop?
From scratch

@@lisacolbert5987 The trusses were pre-made and used when I got them. The spacing of the purlin supports were outside of my control.
Awesome thank u 💪
H ugly
probably just delete this video. someone is gonna do this not seeing your follow up video.
😎🖖👌👍✌😁

With cellulose, you have to pack it or it will settle rendering a low r-value. You are correct in regards to fiberglass insulation though.
