What happens here

The host enters the attic through the access hatch, pulling the long insulation hose with him. He starts the machine remotely and begins blowing the loose-fill fiberglass insulation onto the attic floor. He quickly realizes that the insulation runs out too fast for one person to manage both blowing in the attic and feeding the machine downstairs. An assistant is brought in to continuously feed the insulation bags into the machine. This allows the host to remain in the attic, directing the hose to evenly distribute the new insulation over the existing layer, aiming for consistent depth across the entire attic space.

Goal: Evenly distribute loose-fill fiberglass insulation to achieve the target R-value.
