But make sure you put a towel over the bathroom window, and Carys and Lydia are out of bed. During a break in proceedings I had chance to get all the old insulation out of the loft. Old glass fibre can get into your lungs, eyes and pores! Protective clothing is required, but as you can imagine wearing safety goggles that steam up and impare your vision isn't really practical.
This is definitely the worst job so far. Thrashing about in the dark, visibility down to 2 yards 'cos of the dust, live cables around your feet, knowing if you step off a joist you'll end up falling into one of the bedrooms, breathing restricted by the face mask and having to contort like Houdini in order to get the insulator out of the eves. On the upside I could dress like a true smoggy.
For those that haven't heard this story already, Boro v Newcastle United circa 2004, all the Newcastle fans came to Middlesbrough wearing isolation suits, in homage to our unique climate, 4,000 people in the away end looking like this. Fare play.
