Are there any caveats to blowing insulation into the walls? I have an old Cape Code with a brick exterior, so I assume it'll have to be done from the inside. The walls are blueboard with plaster veneer. I would probably hire the job out, but just curious if there are caveats concerning moisture, mold, vapor barriers, etc.

Thanks.
