This old house was vacant for many years and all sorts of critters made themselves at home in the attic. Consequently, the insulation is filthy with their droppings. We figured we should remove it so that's what we're doing, and it's a miserable job.
Above you see a clean area on the left and a dirty area on the right. Our method varies from rakes, brooms, and dust pans, to a shopvac.
We are finding all kinds of junk that the workers tossed up here 70 years ago: drywall scraps, chicken wire, nails, and scraps of wood. We also found a bit of drywall with wallpaper on it. Check out that steamboat. Looks like the 50s, don't you think?
