crawlspace insulation
I recently read that someone insulated their basement crawlspace with rolls of insulation. Would this work in a crawlspace under the roof? If so, any idea who I could hire to do this for me?

If your house a flat roofed brownstone, you will notice there is a slight downward slope going from the front to rear of the roof. This to allow for drainage. There is more space at the front of the crawl space than at the the rear. The front crawl space looks tall enough to let you place in batts there, but gets progressively lower as you go rearward. It looks too low to work in. If your size was not an impediment, were not claustrophobic, protected yourself from dust and dirt, and were very careful not to cave in the ceiling you were working above, I guess it could be done with batts. Most of the enlightened folks on this site, however, have insulation blown in by a contractor (Federal Conservation has been mentioned here as contractor doing that kind of work). I think I remember someone on this site quoting a price of $2,200.00 for a 45′ by 25′ roof with fiber glass insulation and soffits.
