Question:

Follow-up question. I'm confused one contrator tells me it's better to blow cellulose through a 2" hole with a directional nozzel vrs another who blows through a 1" hole under slow presure. Both use two holes per cavity. Does it matter?

Answer:

In order to expell air from the cavity there should not be a need for a second hole. I've seen situations where only one hole for each cavity was needed. I'm not familiar with a 'two-hole' system to accomplish that. The only times I saw more than one hole has been where some form of blockage prevented filling the cavity from top to bottom.

In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
