Something that I dread doing: [View all]
My house is an almost 50 year old Cape Cod style, with a full shed dormer.
Upstairs, at the front of the house is a storage area that runs the full width of the house. It's triangular in shape, 7' high at the bedroom walls and about 8' at the floor and 32' long. There is old insulation on the back of the bedroom walls and on the sloping part of the roof.
Here's the problem. My adult daughter has decided that the old insulation is making her allergies worse and wants to rip down the old insulation and put up new -- all by herself. There will be no stopping her!
She barely knows how to hold a hammer. I'm the one who has years of DIY experience, and I'm certain that I'm going to get roped into this nonsensical, unnecessary and miserable job.
Right now, there are bales of new insulation crowding the dining room awaiting tomorrow.
Anyone with experience in making this job easier?
