Insulating finished walls
Hello,
I live in an 80 year old bungalow with quasi-balloon framing. The exterior walls currently have no insulation and I'd like to remedy that. The stud cavities are open to the basement along the foundation plate due to the framing technique. I was wondering what the possibility of using an insulation blower from home depot to blow insulation into the cavity from below would be. Obviously I'd have to install some blocking after blowing it in to keep it from falling back into the basement but that would be no big deal. I was thinking I could shove the hose all the way up the wall, blow it in and keep blowing as I pulled the hose out. Any suggestions? Other methods? I know I could pull shingles on the outside and drill holes but If I can avoid that, it might be better. The windows in my house go almost to the ceiling so missing the spaces above the windows would be no big deal. Matt |
