Plastic Bottle Insulation

This is my first instructable

As everyone knows wasted heat is wasted money, energy, and comfort.

I was trying to find the greenest, most cost efficient way to insulate my house. While searching for insulation i discovered that gases are really the best insulators. (other than a vacuum thanks Gofish)

After scratching my head a couple of times trying to figure out how to seal off air in my 1960s home, I though duh empty bottles.

Step 1: What You Will Need

1. Empty bottles (with lids)
2. Empty attic space
3. Filler, this can be almost anything,
like expanding foam or blown in insulation
but for more recycling i used plastic bags.

Step 2: Scout It Out

As you can see my attic has no insulation whatsoever.

Step 3: Wrap the Bottles

start wrapping the bottles in the plastic bags as shown

Step 4: Start Stacking

Start standing them side by side.

Step 5: I Think I Need More Bottles....or Less Attic

This should help keep a few thousand empty bottles and plastic bags out of the landfill.
