The first picture may surprise you.
At the time, I was managing another company. I showed at a job with this brand new, straight outa high school kid. I hired him on a temporary basis as a favor for our sales rep. I pulled the other guys off the job to go tie up some loose ends on some other jobs. All that was left was some insulating and cleaning up. I tell the kid "Insulate all the sheet metal fittings with this fiber glass." Then out try and specifically point out what I wanted insulated and cleaned up. I then tell him "I have some more runnig aound to do, call me when your amost done. I'll be about 10 minutes away." I leave and figure it should take hime between 35 and 50 minutes to perform the tasks assigned. An hour and 15 minutes go by and figure it just took him a little longer than normal so I head back. I pull up to the job and their is still a mess. He's not downstairs so he must be in the attic. As I walk over the the crawl hole, he's jumping down, dripping with sweat and exhausted. He says "I'm out insulation." Of course, I was impressed with his effort but I was confused because their were 2 Rolls of 9" cut there! It shouldnt have even taken one complete roll. I jump into the attic and look around. I bust out laughing when I see that he insulated all the sheet metal fitting then started wrapping the R-8 Silver Jacket duct work that was installed. He thought thats what he was supposed to do. Hilarious!
The second pic is of my buddy.
We were in that tight attic for days. No space tons of ductwork! and we shared the space with a 5 TON furnace and Evap. Good times with friends!
