I am in middle school and they serve an unhealthy lunch and breakfast.I want to lose weight, but I can't because of time and school I want to lose at least 20 pounds in a month and a halfWhat can I do?
Don't put anything up thereThe joists / roof trusses are probably the absolute minimum sizeAny extra weight and the whole ceiling could collapse on you.
if the insulation is flush with the joists put some cheap ply down first.if the insulation is built up higher than the joists , leave it as you dont want to compress it.if you arent worried about a little heat loss remove excess inso and put down ply.
Don't put a tarp in the attic! Go to home depot or lowes and get some inexpensive cedar fence boardsRun the across the joists and nail or screw them downLeave at leat 1/4 between them for air circulationNow you can store your boxes on top of that.
No, because what's under the insulation is your ceiling finish, made of lath and plaster or drywall, held up by nails or screwsThose are not made to take any weight except the weight of the ceiling itself and if you put things on the top of the ceiling, or step on it, it can fall downAlso, the insulation works because it traps airCompress it by putting things on it and it won't insulate too wellIf you have to store things in the attic, put plywood down across the ceiling joists so that each end of the plywood is supported by a joist and the insulation is not compressedA tarp accomplishes nothing at all except keeping insulation off your stuff.
as geeky as it may sound pack your lunchyou can do it the night before that way you dont have to in the morninginstead of the junk food chips or stuff in ituse like snack barsthe healthy onesread labels on everything keep track of your caloriesand portions dont over do itsmall amounts is fine most people eat double what they needdrink waterlots of waterin the morning always eat something just grab fruit on your way out the doorits honestly not that tough.
