[Greenbuilding] sucking up loose fill FG insulation

[Reuben Deumling]

I think we're all on the same page here. The fluffy stuff *is* I think
under all circumstances going to end up in large plastic bags to be
disposed of. The question (at least in my mind is how to get the stuff in
there with the fewest steps. Lining a 55 gal drum with a suitably large bag
and fitting a shop vac head onto that seems about the simplest DIY
approach. Once full, remove head, tie up bag and pull it out of the drum.
Rinse and repeat. Or?
