Claim:
1. A method for hanging vertical strips of building insulation from rolls from an upper attachment position that is adapted to be controlled by a single worker, and where the width of said rolls are capable of being greater than a height of the single worker; said method comprising the steps of: providing an aerial work platform for said single worker to work from; providing the aerial work platform with a top end and a base end and wherein a pair of spaced spars extend between opposing terminal end portions of said base end, and are mounted relative to the aerial work platform and terminal ends, the spars mounted to project away from the aerial work platform such that the spars can be dropped down to pluck up one of said rolls of building insulation whereby the spaced terminal ends straddle opposite ends of said one roll; providing an elevator for carrying the aerial work platform at least between the extremes of a ground level and said upper attachment position; plucking said roll of said building insulation from a support surface wherein a hollow core therethrough is oriented generally horizontal, elevating said roll to the upper attachment position; attaching a leading edge of said roll to the upper attachment position; and progressively attaching belts across multiple rows of vertically spaced attachment positions down to ground level while unrolling the roll in a strip relative to a building.
