Do a search for Tom the AV guy, he seems to be the most knowledgeable on antenna installations. If you are looking as a DIY, I personally do not do attics especially with blown in insulation, but if you are going DIY, I would stick to the attic area over the garage, and cross your fingers to see if you get reception.
IMHO, I would get a nice long range (80 miles or so) antenna, a suitable amplifier, and set it up on a ladder outside and see if it works. This will save you a lot of additional work if it does not work.
