In a home improvement how-to book that I own, I was surprised to see instructions on how to insulate your home's walls by yourself. I am talking about loose fiber, not foam, which is blown in with blowers you can rent from stores like the Home Depot.
Is this something that a handy homeowner can do themselves, provided they have the proper equipment, have taken the necessary steps beforehand and are well-versed in how to use the blower?
It's thousands of dollars less to do this yourself than to hire a company to do it for you, so it's got me very curious.
