I have a brick ranch house, built about 60 years agoThe crawl space above the ceiling and under the roof is not that high to be working in.it can be done thoughThe current insulation, which is of a loose type, (I have no idea on what type it is) has shrunk to about a 1/2 inch in thickness.Which is better, economically? Which is better to put in, considering the small working space? I have approx1600 sqftto insulate.
Unless you're making meringue cookies, you can probably get by just fine with a nonstick cookie sheet or a regular cookie sheet with foilIf you put butter on your foil, make sure your cookie sheet has edges, or the butter could drip down in the oven and cause some nasty problemsThe only cookies I ever use parchment paper for are meringue cookiesEverything else goes on the cookie sheet, and then I use a metal spatula to loosen cookies after bakingEven giant sugar cookies on sticks get baked on a plain cookie sheet at my houseGood luck with your cookies.and don't use waxed paper in the oven, my sister had a fire doing that.
blown works - to a pointbut how can you ensure even coverage in all the corners,etcUnfortunately, getting in there and sweating and itching from 8 fibreglass batts is still the best and most consistent wayLay one set fitted between the joists, then another laid at right angles crosswise over that16 inches of insulation, and you know that is what you have, not ten inches of cellulose here, but maybe only 2 in a corner or just along a joist where the air currents didn't carry the fluffy crap properlyA pain in the butt job, but worth doing rightJust don't lift your head too high or you'll get puncture wounds from the roofing nails sticking down into the attic spaceand fibreglass is 2x the expense.
