    Insulation with no attic
    We recently just replaced our roof and found we have no insulation. My question is can you blow in insulation through the eaves by running the hose up between the rafters?

    Depends on the ceiling construction. You mention "no attic". Is it a flat roof or a gable with a cathedral ceiling? Somewhat difficult circumstance to retrofit since you can't blow a lot of insulation in and not block the air flow. Please clarify your construction.
