***SPAM*** Re: [Greenbuilding] ***SPAM*** Re: ***SPAM*** Re: blowing cellulose wet?

[Bill Allen]

I'm still listening.I joined to learn before doing renovations and have learned a lot.  However, we still have not done the renovations.  We were thinking of insulating our 1926 house but we need a new roof first.  All the insulation Co's just say...have your roof done first, then we can come back.  But I'd like the new roof to be designed as part of the hole-house system so I need the roof "designed" (rigid insulation on top of the deck? etc.) and your average roofer can't answer that.  Very frustrated...Know of any good resources to help with this?

Thanks, Mike! It seems you and I are the last wo members. Have the rest migrated to some other platform? Are these conversations happening over there? I’d love to know. So much knowledge.  I spoke to the folks at Intec and they will sell me a nozzle for about $300 and some other high pressure accessory for about ten times that. I’m tempted by the nozzle which it sounds like would suffice. I’m not sure I understand what the more expensive contraption accomplishes.

Hi, Reuben—

Happy new year!

We installed damp spray cellulose in our exterior walls. You do have to scrape off the excess to flatten the surface for drywall, but that goes back into the sprayer. It creates a complete fill, which both improves thermal comfort and made the house really quiet.

Best, Mike

I've replaced several of the internal wear parts over the years, and babied it a bit. I think I once learned (here) that this machine has the capability (can be upgraded to) blow cellulose wet such that one can blow it into open wall or ceiling cavities. Am I remembering this right? Has anyone here done this? And if so what can you say about that?
