That attic in Elmhurst nearly made me walk off the job

I took a rewire job at a house built in 1923 in Elmhurst last summer. The attic had blown-in cellulose so deep you couldn't see the joists, and it was 105 degrees up there by noon. After I fell through the ceiling sheetrock into a kid's bedroom, I swore off any attic work over 100 degrees unless the homeowner clears it out first. Any of you guys have a hard rule you set after a bad job site experience?

Been there, that sounds rough and I feel for you on that one.

Telling them to clear everything out first saved me from the same nightmare.

Depends on the place, clearing out first means losing your chance to claim damages.
