Since the attic area is generally the most acces- sible part of the house, most crews will start there. For practical scheduling, the attic should always be saved for inclement weather.
Be sure there is sufficient light by which to work. Every crew should carry a long extension cord with extra bulbs to use whenever the attic is not sufficiently lighted. The hoseman should also have a flashlight.
Before starting to insulate in the attic, anything which might interfere with the movement of the hoseman or the proper application of the insula- tion should be removed or placed in an area where it will give the least amount of trouble.
Items stored in the attic should be protected as much as possible. Clothes and other items which could be affected by the insulation must be removed from the attic.
