All that is done is staple a netting over the external wall studs, then cut some little holes, stick in the hose, and pack the wall cavity. The insulation product will cling to the studs and will fill up the interiors of the wall. Afterward you cover the wall with vapor barrier and then drywall it. To use the ceiling insulating material, you drywall the ceiling first, then ascend into the attic area and blow it in. Much more problematic on an older residence, since the wall covering will have to be removed first. After the wall covering is removed, the steps are pretty much exactly the same.
