Charmaine, Regarding those packed-by-yourself insulation bags and boxes, do you feel they need any type of fireproofing or insectproofing? I also assume it is dry sawdust rather than damp or wet - boy, would that be a quiet area! +++++++++++++++ Patricia, Yes dry sawdust... Ken Kern put in some dry hydrated lime, and mixed it up, so yes I'd at least so that, and I always recommend coating the box with clay slip, so you add more fireproofing layers. Waxed paper boxes, as in the US mail kind or anykind have inks etc on them too, so preventing/ slowing burn rate is good. but the sawdust does not offer enough oxygen to burn easily so it makes a good insulation. casting blocks to infill is prolly the smartest thing to do.
