Is there any way to insulate existing walls in a 2nd floor condo?
Just a couple walls infiltrate cold air during winter... Being on the
2nd flr, can I dump foam or any insulation down my walls to help my heat
bill? What about the downstairs unit? They get MY efforts?
And, also... how bout high ceilings? Can they be more insulated? Not
easy to get to.... I called a few co's and was told, "it would be very
dusty to blow in stuff"...
True? Anyone have alternative sources to put in place? :-) TIA.

Of course we know how the building is made since you told everyone and
we know what type of roof it has.

Hey dipshit without knowing how its made it cant be answered
correctly, its folks like you asking questions without enough info
that make an answer impossible. There is no problem, just no info. Its
not a smart as response.

Check the condo laws in your area before you do anything. Around here,
a condo owner owns "painted surface to painted surface", with the rest
of the building belonging to the condo association*. You own the paint,
but you don't own the wallboard, studs, insulation, wiring, pipes, or
outer surface of the wall. Of course, any interior walls are yours,
guts included. :-)
This is a rather technical definition, since I'm sure you wouldn't be
challenged for fixing a wall gouge or driving a nail for a picture.
* According to my architect brother-in-law in Dallas.
