Question:

How can i insulate my attic when it already has drywall?

The blow in insulation seems quite expensiveIs there a way to take down the drywall without damaging it, only bc we cannot fit large drywall up the hallway and the stuff already installed is in great shape.

Answer:

In the UK we put all aluminium together so that would include the foil tooBut that's hereWhat happens in America, I don't know.xx
I don't think they'll give you moneyYou didn't pay a crv tax on the foil, did you? But you can tick it in the regular recycle.
Make a hole in the drywall wall adequate to get the insulation batts through the wall so the wall and / or floor can be installed behind the wallPatch the wall when doneMake the cut out stud to stud and of the correct heightTake your time and cut it out neatly on the center of the studWhen you are complete behind the wall, screw the removed piece in place with a couple screws and call it an access panelIf you want it to look better run a 1 x 4 around the cut perimeter, over the cut edges, screw only the 1 x 4 in place at the corners and again, call it an access panel.
