I’ve got two jobs coming up requiring me to tear the roof off of the house exposing the attic. Both attics spaces are insulated with blown-in cellulose insulation. Does anyone have any ideas on how to collect all that insulation before the roof comes off so I don’t decorate the neighborhood with it like a bunch of pink flamingos and make a good second impression with the neighbors? I was thinking some kind of industrial vaccum, maybe like a big leaf vac. Any ideas?

See if someone in your area has one of these:
Dear AJ,
In the event you can't get one of Ralph's trucks (and I would try), you can shovel it out. I've made my own dump truck into a vac by covering the bed with a clothe and using a Grizzly dust collector with 3 inch hoses.
I've never seen pink cels before. You sure you're not dealing with a fiberglass product?
Hope you bid these jobs right, Fred

Those pink cels might have come from the Barbie aisle at Toys 'r Us - where everything is pink.

Are you saying Barbie is densely packed? I've always considered her more the open-cell type...
