I haven't seen this yet, but he cut 3" holes and used "pink" insulation.
I'm thinking that must be fiberglass. To do his house walls he used 4
bags out of the 20 he bought. That seems to be the definition of loose
fill, very loose. It's hard for me to tell though:

That seems to indicate higher coverage than what cellulose would have done.

If he screwed up. How to fix? My thoughts are running to switching to
cellulose. What would have been the proper way to blow in fiberglass? I
can't seem to Google complete instructions for this.

Yes, the proper way to drill and fill with any product is to call the
man who does it for a living. Drill and fill is not a dyi project.

I had little trouble with the cellulose dense pack. It's not rocket
science. YMMV.
