Reply to comment by Akanan in diy blown in insulation question for first timer. 100+ year old home. by jjax2003

Yep what I saw too. Quotes I got are in the $4k range for new construction. I can do it myself for well under $2k. I just need to figure out how to get my kids to feed the blower without losing limbs in the process.

I called a friend to feed the machine who is... clueless about everything else than playing chess and microwave hotdog... and he did a great job.

The machine I rent had a remote control to start and stop the machine. I didn't need much communication with the feeder.

When I did this last week, we didn't even have a remote, so we used walkie talkies to communicate and it worked great - and for sure anyone can do the loading part!
