Tip Tuesday 220 🏡 | When the insulation is almost your size but you’re too stubborn to let it win 🏆😂
For reference:
🙋♀️ Me: 5’1” and 114 lbs
🧱 Insulation bag: 4’2” and 42 lbs
🏆 Winner: ME. Obviously.
I was laughing at myself the entire time carrying this thing because WHY is a bag of insulation almost as tall as I am?! 😂
But here’s the actual homeowner tip hiding underneath this ridiculous video:
Fiberglass insulation can irritate your skin, eyes, nose and respiratory system. And yes, I learned the skin part firsthand because my skin was RED afterward. 😬
So when you’re handling fiberglass:
🧤 Wear gloves
👕 Cover your arms and legs
🥽 Protect your eyes
😷 Wear an N95 when you’re dealing with airborne fibers and dust
🚿 Shower and change afterward
Yes, I had protective gear on while working with it inside the house.
And then it was approximately 1,000 degrees outside. 🥵🔥
So apparently when it was time to haul the bags out, common sense left the building right along with the insulation. 😂🤦♀️
I showered immediately afterward and cleaned myself up.
Pro tip: Don’t copy my outfit. You CAN copy my refusal to let a 42 lb bag of insulation defeat me. 💪😂🏆
