Before you begin, you will need to change into your protective gear. Look at the image of me on the ladder.

I have a full body suit , safety glasses, helmet, dust mask , and gloves. I also needed a wired trouble light since my attic does not have any light fixtures.

Remember if you are working on a cramped attic crawl space to be careful not to kick the ladder out from under you.

Tip: Use masking tape to seal your cotton gloves to the paper bodysuit. This will keep the fibers from getting under your gloves. The fibers will make you itch if your skin is exposed.
