Cellulose Insulation Technique Take II

Todays brainwave, use my planer hoover to fluff up the cellulose and fill bags with it. Worked a treat!

More under floor insulation fresh from Brico Depot

Two 12.5 kg bags of Cellulose make this much when passed through the hoover. Great stuff, eco friendly and wallet friendly but V V messy.
