The problem is EVERY house is different. The homes in my area are all around 5 years old. The insulation is BLOWN in by the truckload. You cant even see the rafters, so you dig your foot around till it feels solid and hope you can put weight on it. Then you do it all over again from rafter to rafter. Then you crouch down in knee deep insulation powder and attempt to find the location to feed your snake down. No way is it a 30 minute job!! More like 2 hours. Much more than that if you factor in the replacement time for the sheetrock that you put your freaking knee through in their ceiling.
Nope...NO attics for me or my sub contractors.

Piece of cake most the time we charge extra $50-$75 to snake it in the wall and people pay it ;-) Quoting The Wirefree Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Huh...now I am stumped.
