Exactly, Crhras,
even though you can rent the blower equipment (I am not from US, but as
far as I know it costs some 50+ USD daily and some 50 - 100 USD deposit
upfront), usually you need much more than just a good blower, it is the
matter of technique... and the vertical walls are the most difficult
job for the cellulose insulation.
Rather just let it on profi, JayMay,
