So far this is the DIY project I dislike the most. Removing tons of loose styrofoam from my attic. Only doing part of it for now to get access above a bathroom that we're remodeling. Eventually I'll remove all of it, seal the air gaps, and probably replace the insulation with blown in cellulose.

The the insulation vacuum bags definitely make it easier.

What is up with that vaccum? I am needing to do something similar and was going to lug a 21 gallon shopvac into the attic with an extension cord but your solution looks much more efficient.

Anything involving fibreglass insulation. I hate it with a passion.

Vacuuming foam in a hot attic is really a candidate for the worst DIY project in life. However, sealing and high-quality preparation of the floor above the bathroom will save new repairs from condensation and mould. When it comes to the arrangement of the shower itself, at https://www.bellabathrooms.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays.html you can choose flat and durable shower trays for any layout. I wish you to successfully complete this vigilant epic and move on to pleasant finishing works as soon as possible!)
