We recently assessed a property that the owner had decided to insulate himself. He had sourced a number of insulation offcuts and placed them throughout the ceiling of the house.

He advised us that he had made wire cages to go over the downlights so the insulation could be laid over the top of them.

On inspection, we found a complete mess of insulation offcuts and plastic packaging just strewn through the ceiling. This photo is a good illustration of what we found.
