[badair (Barry Adair, EIFSTX#39)]

in lieu of insulation 60 years of mud dauber nests

[ebancroft (Ed Bancroft)]

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

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.)

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.

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]

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

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

[tleahy (Tom Leahy)]

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

[jmullarkey (John E. Mullarkey)]

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

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]

Thanks John.

[tleahy (Tom Leahy)]

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.

[ppendley (Paul Pendley)]

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

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]

Thanks Tom.

[wnapier (William Napier)]

Cut wires to the humidifier just hanging out there in the breeze in one pic and the other of the furnace dere hey up in the attic, well it speaks for itself meeee thinks.

You should have got a load of the stench when we fired that puppy up…too bad we don’t have scratch 'n sniff…

Al in TN

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]

We need a few more defects.

[bdehaan (Bert B. de Haan, de Haan)]

Not much wrong in this picture except that the whole ridge looked like that from inside the attic but on the outside the ridge was equipped with full length ridge venting.

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]

So how was the venting in the attic Bert?:mrgreen:

Thanks:)

[wwarner (William Warner)]

Tie a bow string to it and we’ll have target practice…
