Thanks for that tip. Our utility doesn't have such a program, but a link
on their Web site directed me to a Federal/State program of which we
might be able to take advantage.

ever-growing pot of cybersoup:

Check out your local gas/electric utility. In Mass, NSTAR will reimburse 1/2
the cost up to a maximum amount of having an approved insulation contractor
come in and blow insulation. We did this with fiberglass for a large old
farmhouse and it saved us quite a bit.

Menards is advertising a sale on Johns-Manville "blown-in" fiber glass
insulation, but our local store is only a small one, at which this
product is available only by special order (2-week wait) and with no
machines for rent (never mind "free" as at most of the other stores).

Is there any reasonable way of installing this product without a blower
-- e.g., by raking or otherwise spreading it?
