For the tiny attic spaces, I'll use blown cellulose too. But this part of the project is the crawl-space subfloor, and I didn't think there was cellulose that I'll be able to apply in my 2'-3' crawl space under the house. I have not found it yet, if there is. Anyway, today I am considering denim and boards.

The latest information I'm evaluating is this:
Crawl Space Insulation Myths - Crawl Spaces are cold or warm due to ventilation. Are they just trying to sell me fiberglass? I was thinking I would enclose the crawlspace during the dry months (April-Nov), and open it during the wet months (Dec-March). That would destroy denim and a paper barrier?

Moving slowly and deliberatively I have a better chance of avoiding costly mistakes... I appreciate all suggestions and corrections.

james
