How to get the insulation blower into the attic

atticinsulation

I rented an insulation blower. Apparently it weights 150 lbs and I'm not sure if I can get it up into the attic.

Or, perhaps, are the hoses long enough to reach all edges of a 1000 sq ft attic without requiring the blower to be inside the attic?

The blower doesn't go in the attic. The hose and the control cable do. If you took the blower up there you'd also have to carry the insulation up after it.

If you don't have enough hose, request an extension. Leave the blower in your truck or on your trailer unless you can't park near the door or window nearest the attic access point.
