After insulating our attic from the elements, I decided to make an effort to keep it scrub in addition to use it for storage.
Before I came up here to make our improvements, there was enough dust in addition to cobwebs in here to fill the bed of a pickup truck. I used our shop vacuum in addition to filled the drum twice gathering everything bit of dust in addition to dirt that I could find. Insulating the attic wasn’t hard because of the reflective foil insulation that I purchased. It’s lightweight in addition to simple to work with, however it’s also incredibly effective at reflecting radiant UV rays from the sun. The reflective foil insulation looks almost identical to afternoonlight visors for cars, however usually the foam core is more robust. Some people use the same thing however with bubble wrap inside instead of foam; personally, I recognize this results in less UV reflection. Between the cleaning in addition to the modern insulation, our attic is shaping up to be a appealing storage space. I savor to keep our space gas furnace in addition to portable a/c up there whenever I’m not using them. The portable a/c is for emergencies while the space gas furnace is used every year while I was in Winter time for added heat in our living room. It was the hour month of October so I decided to pull the space gas furnace out of storage in addition to turn it on to beginning using it again. Without fail, our space gas furnace constantly produces a gross smell when it’s used again after a long stage in storage. It’s a natural byproduct of dust in addition to dirt settling on the heating coils in addition to burning off when the equipment is powered on again. After an hour or so of burn-off time, usually the space gas furnace loses its gross smell.
