Default Blown in Cellulose Insulation

In article , Speedy Jim ruminated:
Your house is an excellent candidate for blown-in
(either cellulose or fiberglass).
The installers can do it all from outside by lifting
sections of siding.
The one potential problem is moisture condensation
in the insulation.


Most makers of cellulose do not recommend vapor barriers with
dense-pack cellulose unless the external wall temperature is going to
be below -15F. Seems that the dense pack already does an excellent job
as a vapor barrier due to the waterproofing that is applied to it as
part of the manufacturing process.
