[QUOTE="Artic-Z, post: 1828399, member: 20"] my house is from early 60's as well, your figures are pretty darn close to correct. I wish i'd have done 40-50 bags, but i wasn't really even planning on buying any insulation when i went on that trip to lowes so i just got about the minimum to get free machine rental. as everyone else said, Bad time of year to be doing this, id easily do this in the wintertime. it was 60 degrees outside when i did my house and i was sweating like a whore in church. Also you'll want to add a broom stick to the tip of the hose to help it reach into the corners of your house. be careful the tips not metal the static was crazy when i was blowing mine in, it'd spark about every 3 seconds with a nice loud pop that made you feel uneasy. Get a good respirator and goggles as well... [/QUOTE]
