DIY home insulation (loose fiber in walls) – recommended?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.

It depends on taste as well. If you can do the job yourself (and I did it many times) it is an excellent way to add substantial value to your property and enjoy something good while using it. I did bathroom floor to ceiling but left the floor as I have original hardwood floorboards. I think it is beautiful and so many others say. In the kitchen I did a partial floor to ceiling in the wet and hot areas. Tiles are fantastic insulators. So in my view tiles are the ultimate answer. Some people don't want to go that way. To me it make aesthetic and economic sense.
I trust myself or my father who's been a carpenter for 50+ yrs. If we can't figure it out, it's not doable! Kind of snotty but we make a great team! Because of him I have my own company that I know run with a partner check us out at, http://www.dwelldesignbuild.com
It depends on what type of improvements that you made. If it was just doing some painting, fixing walls etc. you do not need a permit. You probably would need permits for doing major electrical work, plumbing etc. so that they can send someone to your house to inspect it, making sure it is up to code. Each town, village,or city has there own way of dealing with permits. Just more or less a racket, just so they can get there money, and saying they inspected it. If you know somebody, and they know you know what you are doing, sometimes they won't even inspect the work. They are happy to take your money though. It will have to be inspected though if you do not have any connections, to make sure that the work is safe, and will not cause a fire etc..Good Luck..
