Plays Well With Others

In the Attic …

Have you ever been in the attic of your parents house? Chances are if you have, it was a BIG attic. Now let’s talk about my mom’s attic. All 12 inches high of it. I managed to squeeze my fat ass up there over the weekend. There’s not one flat surface up there at all. Once you get your body up through the 2×2 foot square attic hole in the ceiling, located in the hallway, you encounter the attic space. Picture a whole bunch of 2×4’s end on end, every sixteen inches and in the center is a bunch of that filling you find in boxes when you order shit. So, I’m basically on my stomach shimmying forward and backward trying to feed this cable from one room to the next. My face is buried in this filling stuff. It’s hot as hell, and I’m trying to carry around a flashlight so I can actually see in front of my face.

To start out I fed the cable from the bedroom, up through a closet and into the attic. Great. Except. Now to try and find the end of the cord that I popped through the ceiling of the attic. Eventually after shimmying around and digging through two tons of attic filling, I found it. Then I realize I have to turn my body around. Ugh. Imagine turning your body around in a space that is only one foot high. Flat, I swear my ass was one foot high in that space. Eventually I managed to turn around and was able to shimmy forward to the other room, where I could feed the cord through a vent to the outside. I did manage to put a nice gash in my arm with all the shimmying though.

Hopefully I won’t have to go up there again anytime soon. I guess the first step should be to make sure your body isn’t bigger than the space you are trying to squeeze it into. The only other person that I know of that has gone up there was this guy that was installing the central heating ducts. He came down saying that it was the tightest space he’s ever been into. Ugh.
