My house was built with a series of additions. I’ve been putting up insulation every weekend for about three weeks now. Every time I get up there, I look at what has come to be known as The Dark and Scary Hole (DASH), and decide that some other part of the attic should be insulated first. The DASH leads to the space above the master bedroom. From my initial forays, I can see that it probably needs the insulation more than the rest of the attic, but dammit … I’m just not feelin’ it.
I’m nearly out of “other” spaces, so today I ripped up a bunch of the sub-floor that’s scattered around the rafters up there and insulated *under* that. I even did the bits around the access hatch (with associated Fear of Falling) rather than climb through the DASH. I have one more roll up there, and I think I’m going to clean up the corners and make sure I got all the open spaces, rather than voyage onward.
Being an adult, at least in part, is doing it anyway – even when you’re really not feelin’ it.
