MASCOT ITCHY
ITCHY — Official Mascot, RAM Insulation Vacuum Bags
Nobody knows exactly how Itchy ended up in the attic. One day he simply appeared — pink, fluffy, and wide-eyed — nestled between two rolls of fiberglass insulation and a box of holiday ornaments nobody had touched since 2003. He waved. Nobody waved back. He kept waving anyway.
That was 25 years ago.
He's been up there ever since. Through summer heat waves and winter drafts, through every renovation project and home inspection, Itchy has witnessed it all from above — the dust, the debris, the crews in Microvek suits. And after a quarter century in the rafters, he has come to one undeniable conclusion: getting insulation out of an attic is a messy, itchy business. He'd know.
Despite years of solitude, Itchy remains relentlessly cheerful, impossibly friendly, and full of fuzzy warmth. He has never once stopped smiling — or waving. He's taken a particular interest in the insulation removal industry, having watched countless jobs go sideways due to improper equipment. He is, to put it simply, deeply invested.
Itchy's dream? Simple. Find a crew with the right vacuum bags, get the job done clean, and finally — finally — make it down those stairs.
Until that day comes, you'll find him right where he's always been: up in the attic, face pressed to the small window, watching the world go by. Still hopeful. Still waving.

ATTIC CHRONICLES
2001 — Year 1: The Arrival Itchy appears between two boxes of VHS tapes and a defunct dehumidifier. No fanfare. He waves at nothing in particular. It feels right.
2004 — Year 3: First Human Contact A kid climbs up to find a baseball glove. They make eye contact. The kid screams. Itchy considers this a breakthrough in social relations.
2009 — Year 8: The Great Insulation Project A crew blows in new insulation. Itchy realizes the importance of proper insulation depth.
2015 — Year 14: Close Call A home inspector nearly discovers him. Itchy practices his most disarming smile. The inspector writes "pleasant atmosphere" in his report.
2020 — Year 19: Pandemic Solidarity Everyone is stuck inside. For one brief moment, Itchy feels profoundly understood.
Today — Year 25: Still Dreaming The dream burns bright. Itchy watches through his small attic window every evening. The stairs remain a mystery. The wave never stops.
THE DREAM THAT KEEPS HIM GOING
Every night, Itchy presses his fuzzy face to the attic window and watches the world below. Clean air. Open roads. People who aren't covered in fiberglass. He imagines what it would feel like to finally reach the bottom of those stairs — to walk out the front door, breathe fresh air, and meet the people he's only ever seen from above.
One day a insulation crew will show up with RAM Insulation vacuum bags and open that hatch for good. The insulation will be cleared. The attic will be empty. And Itchy will finally come have his freedom.
Twenty-five years in, the dream hasn't faded one bit. If anything, it's gotten stronger.
Until then — he'll be up there. Waving and hoping.
