Very rare, but when necessary I am quickly reminded how much it sucks

Agreed

When friends and family ask for some electrical help and it involves running wire in the attic

I tell them, I’ll direct them or their kids on how to do it, but my attic days are done.

If I understand "blown" correctly, there are loose particles or fibers that can break loose if disturbed? Better wear a respirator.

Isn't blown insulation cellulose? Or is it sometimes fiberglass?

When I bought my house in 1984, it had blown fiberglass insulation; I had another 8" blown in.
I'm not sure if fiberglass is still used today for blown insulation.
