Thanks bigrockcandymountain - hoping you'd yack back for this
COVID got a good old guys' kids talking again to unwind fifteen years squabbling over inheritances, so... I bought Ernies pole shed - the last thing he built before age & health clobbered him, so all the bonus ideas from his 80-years got built then sat empty & unattended 12 or 15 years.
Whomever insulated this walked away to leave attic open to common airspace - and the cellulose aged & turned orange on top - the Bromine & salts fire retardants went everywhere, my first time in the shop I saw EVERYTHING was coppery dust coated from 20 years of eaves & ridge vents wind gust movement... Probably helped kill poor Ernie
The second time it turned into a hazmat scene, spend a hour inside and next day cough like COVID... Anyhow, bought it in September and spent weeks framing up and closing in attic space - and hours of vacuuming, brooming & leaf blower...
Once upon a time the front rooms floor was mechanically troweled & polished but I'll do 400 or 800 grit burnishing pads on a 20" floor polisher to vanish 20 years of mouse pee, deer guts and concrete salt crystals (and zesty cellulose fire retardant)...
Anyhow, please don't be offended if I reject cellulose, I think I've had a lifetime dosage...
