Default insulating large crawl space

cece e. wrote:
Ok. I have never ever insulated anything in my life. However, I have two
very large crawl spaces under my house that has to be insulated and I want
to do it myself. Any helpful hints or suggestions on successfully completing the
job and does it take a long time to do it (if you are not a professional)?
Thanks for your help


Remember that the vapor barrier goes toward the living space. So in the
crawlspace the vapor barrier goes up toward the floor, leaving the
insulation exposed below. Kind of a pain when installing since it means
the fiberglass is facing you the whole time, but that's the way it is...
