I worked for a contractor for 15 years who would fire you if you ever sacrificed quality workmanship to save money. My neighbor is a general contractor and he is the same way. If you don’t want it done right he don’t want to do it.I started pulling insulation off my ductwork to seal and reinsulate it. Here's the starting point.

Yeah, I was just in a cranky mood. But I suspect the way **** like this happens is they send the apprentice to do the ****** job in the crawl space and never check to see if it was done right. People like that don't expect that you'll actually go in your crawl or attic to check on this stuff. And they're usually right.I worked for a contractor for 15 years who would fire you if you ever sacrificed quality workmanship to save money.

I've identified a few things I'm not going to touch without sending for testing, mostly in the additions from the 60s. Looks different than this stuff. Has tape that might contain asbestos.Yeah, I didnt say anything about that picture specifically. There can be asbestos in insulation, tape, mastic, etc. Just a friendly PSA...
