I want to add some insulation to my attic and was thinking of using the
cellulose (shredded paper) stuff. But I don't want to use a blower, I
want to just buy bags of insulation and pour the stuff where I want it.
My question is do you lose anything by doing it that way? Does it
need the blowing step to fluff it up? Is it real compressed in the
bag? I have never handled the stuff.

Yes, blow this stuff in and yes fluff it. Do not cover any attic
vents. You can place ruler markers to show the thickness as you work
out.

One person in the attic and one at the blower, feeding the machine
continuously..as necessary.

Cell phones/walkie-talkies are good ideas...
