Make sure that if you use blow-in cellulose insulation that it is "Borate-only" and doesn't use sulfates. If sulfate-treated cellulose insulation gets wet (roof leak, etc.) those sulfates become sulfuric acid which will corrode metals, especially copper. I bring it up because our local big-box hardware stores only sell sulfate-treated cellulose insulation.

Good luck with that also!
