Goodhome Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I was in a 1906 home today and in the attic I found this strange insulation that I have never seen before. It resembled a brown sawdust like material. Does anyone have a clue what it might be? Thanks Click to Enlarge 62.4 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Pretty common around Seattle; especially in 60's and 70's homes. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
