Alright, some of you guys in the South, show me some defects up there in those hot attics. I want to know if you went up in the oven to find those defects.

[Barry Adair]

in lieu of insulation 60 years of mud dauber nests

[Ed Bancroft]

Yes ma'am , we put 20 bags of insulation in your attic!

[Bob Elliott]

Vermiculite....?
I thought that was Bat insulation......




Edit for Marcel.....

(They installed a Horizontal unit and return inside an attic full of vermiculite and a dead Bat.
Vermiculite and blowers do not play well together Marcel.)

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Thanks guys

Barry, that is one bad looking attic.

Ed did you tell them the job wasn't quite finished?

Bob, do you have a single picture or leave the collated one?

Thanks for the contributions.

Any more? Seven more would do it.

I think you might need a better screen if you do not get it Marcel.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Well, I guess you're going to have to help this Caveman understand Bob.

[Chuck Lambert]

Look closely at the middle one.

I told them they needed to do a little cleaning work in the attic also.

[Tom Leahy]

I thought this was bad over a bedroom until I seen Barry's. I guess some is better than nothing.

[John E. Mullarkey]

It seemed normal, then came the IR camera, then oops and here it is.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Thanks John.

Came across this one today. Seller wondered why the one room was so hot in the summer and cold in the winter. At Least with 103 temp today the attic was fairly cool. And yes, ALL the duct needed replaced. The attic was cooler than the house.

[Paul Pendley]

Love it when the attic space is cooled>>>>>>haha

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Thanks Tom.
