TRULY insulate your loft (or attic!) - and save the planet

Step 12: First steps 2 - timescale

My loft is just shy of 20 feet long. Working alone, I found I could do two lengths in a day. OK, I'm unfit. So maybe you can do three, Mr Macho. But even with two of you on the job, retro fitting a loft is several days' work.

Obviously if you fit the quilt before the roof goes on it's easier. But I didn't plan to reroof the house just yet awhile.

It is a two-person job. I fitted a lot of quilt on my own, but I didn't enjoy it, and I made a poor job compared to when I had a mate.

Also, some of the work is uncomfortable and unpleasant (eg squeezing into the eaves): it's nice to share it with a friend. Even better with an enemy...
