J.S.Vig's Project Green Construction is a favorite site of mine. Like me, he uses common sense, and easily viewable information to show and explain why its not only more cost effective, its better for you all the way around to use recycled materials in redoing your home.
Granted, this isnt really for a project on a budget, but if for some reason you need to re-insulate your home (water damage, mold, fire, renovation, etc) Cellulose is the way to go. No only does it outperform, its generally 50-70% of the cost of regular pink fiberglass insulation.

Good to know, I have a friend looking at reinsulation now, will have to suggest this to him.
Nice blog!

good stuff
isn't cellulose just a degraded sugar?
Interesting. Wonder how it works.
Really interesting video, I'm following. Check out my blog if you like!

This is awesome!
thats awesome ....
cool blog man, also if you want to make the video stop from going outside of the blog space then change the width number in the HTML
Wait, wasnt the temperature higher in the fibreglass insulation ... meaning better insulating properties? C:
@Slumph, while yes the temp is higher on the insulation side, notice that its reading the air on the topside of the insulation, not the side that the heat source is on. This means more heat LOSS (lower insulating factor), meaning your using more energy to heat the same amount of space.
very interesting.
I have some family that owns a construction business and have heard about this but never seen an empirical test on it before.
Nice blog def following.
