- A neighbour of mine had his house insulated by blowing cellulose into
- the exterior walls. He swears by the process, and his house does feel
- much tighter than mine (the houses are almost identical). I have
- heard that because it is almost impossible to install a vapor barrier,
- the insulation can trap humidity inside the walls. This could damage
- the structure in the long run. What is the net-wisdom on this?

- Thanks,
