Sitting in the loft, Bob overheard the following conversation from the living room:
Kid Construction: I suppose we could do the ceiling first.
Kid’s Partner: Don’t you need to put insulation up there first?
Kid Construction: Oh yeah. I didn’t even notice that.
Eh?
So Bob started watching from his high vantage point.
Kid Construction then proceeded to stuff wall insulation in the ceiling.
Now, we know insulation is insulation, as long as you use the proper amount.
But Kid Construction was going to just put one layer in the ceiling. Because when he was on the ladder measuring, he didn’t bother to look at what’s already up there.
Wall insulation is what? Four inches thick?
The insulation that’s in the ceiling is about TWELVE inches thick.
One layer of the wall stuff ain’t gonna cut it, kids.
Good thing Bob was watching.
Sweet Christ on a bike.
