What is the process to insulate a interior wall with blow in
cellulose? I'd like to insulate an interior wall to deaden the noise
coming through it. I'm not sure if it's worth renting a machine just
to do a wall. Is there another way?


Thanks.


If you will be doing it from the inside,
drill a hole top and bottom of each stud space.
You might get away with only 1 hole for each...


Now, promise you won't laugh...


I had one wall to insulate and couldn't see
renting the machine, so.....we used an electric
leaf blower!! *Yes!


Ran the blower outside the house with a hose into
the room. *Fed the material right into the blower
intake by hand. *Worked like a treat!


YMMV


Humm, interesting. Now I have to ask, how did you attach the hose to
the leaf blower?


Good grief, Dude, are you out of duct tape? That will do the job in a
jiffy...the universal adapter.
Cheers,
