Yikes, are you kidding me? How do these people get on the internet pretending to be experts? Those walls will settle at least a foot on the top where you need the insulation in the exterior wall the most. And what about those huge holes?

Also, cellulose is a great air sealer, but only when it is packed under pressure. It just won't seal all the little holes and gaps when its lightly blown like this.

The sad truth is that thousands of homes still get insulated this way every year. The only difference between this and what some so called professionals do is that they use a directional nozzle.

Its not so bad because eventually the home will get tested using a blower door and infrared camera, and all of the settling and gaps will be detected. That's when companies like ours get called to re-drill and dense pack the walls the proper way.
