On the insulation point...
I just used cellulose for the first time (both wet and dry). It was local (from Bernardston, MA), recycled (old newspaper), and has a good R-value. I was told it consists entirely of: cellulose, clay (used in the printing), soy-based ink (they pull all the colored stuff out), boric acid (for bugs and fire), and water. R 3.7/inch. I have a very good installer in western MA, if you're interested Dave.
