I found this lovely pile in an about 100 year old house this past week. It is pretty amazing what some people will ignore when it is out of sight. This house had had a lot of nice upgrades done in the last few years, but no one bothered doing anything with the attic. The attic didn't have any insulation, so I guess it may have been serving some service by providing a degree on insulation!
Ralph, Nice pile of *&%#. That's really amazing. Tomorrow I'll have R-44 in my attic. It gets cold around here, *&%# just won't cut it!
Makes a man want to scratch his head and ask, 'Does this mean that you are too dumb to vote and sit on a jury"
Is that bat guano? I inspected a home a year or so ago with a good amount of droppings in the attic but that's amazing. Actually I heard you can sell that stuff as it makes great fertilizer.
Matt, thanks for the chuckle first thing in the am
Michelle - I think an industrial type vacuum would do the trick. You just have to be careful about the exhaust.
Vince, It is bat guano. I had never run across any until about 2 months prior at a house just 1/2 mile from this one. They had plenty of it. Those ceiling joists were about 8".
Ralph, I haven't seen a pile of guano like that since I was a kid in Connecticut----see small quanties often out here----but that picture of yours is some serious guano insulation:)
I haven't seen bat guano or bats outside of a Zoo since I left Texas many years ago.
