If you decide to blow in insulation, I'd recommend you go get some spray foam and seal the gaps between your top plates and sheet rock. I found my insulation had turned brown/black in these areas due to all the air leakage over the years.

I bought (72) 30lb bags and it took about 10 hours not including setup or clean-up.

Did you DYI this? If so, how difficult was it to do with existing blown in insulation?

That's a shite ton of insulation. This is a big arse house I'm guessing? Single story?
