My house is 130 years old. I had cellulose insulation blown in the walls and attic this summer. Now that the colder weather is here I am getting condensation on my windows. This is causing the windows to stick shut, mold to grow and the wood is starting to rot. What can I do to remedy this.

In your case storm windows or plastic ovver the windows might be the first step.

Dense Pac cellulose insulation has blocked a lot of air flow that used to carry out the warm moist air and replace it with drier colder air.
