Crazy for insulation

Since I was getting more insulation and all the drywall for the downstairs room delivered, I decided to add on enough R30 insulation to finally insulate the garage attic. I insulated the walls in the garage years ago which helped keep out the cold in the winter, but was always meaning to also insulate the attic as in the summer, the garage will get scorching hot. So... insulation procured...

6 bags of R30 24" batted insulation.

Woke up early and started one day and only got through one bag. As the access to the attic was too small to fit a full bag through, I had to carry up one batt at a time which was extremely tedious. After the frustration I gave up for the day. Next day I formulated a better plan and made a ramp of spare chipboard to slide the batts into the attic. This allowed me to get more insulation into the attic to work on, so I wasn't constantly going up and down the ladder (or less so).

The chipboard slider.

As many batts as possible slid and hucked into the attic.

Getting there...

All done! 4 bags of shiny white, 2 bags of dirty brown.

And butting up to the blown in cellulose over the living space.
