What are you having done at the house, Shawn?

 

We are ripping out all the old rock wool and fiberglass batt insulation in the attic and replacing it with spray foam and dense pack cellulose. We are also spray foaming the basement foundation (200+ year old foundation made of fieldstone) to seal all the air leaks. Should cut air leakage in our house by over 50%. Should make a major difference in our heating bills and in home comfort.

We had a blower door audit to identify the areas with most potential and decided on these two areas as being the most cost effective.

 

Yeah, that should help significantly! Nasty work, can't blame you a bit for getting that hired out!

 

We demoed all the knee walls in the upstairs bed rooms and cleaned out the old insulation but I have no desire to go up into the crawlspace of an attic to vacuum out all the old, dirty rock wool and fiberglass. I'll leave that for the guys in Tyvek suits with respirators. And having no real experience with spray foam I am leaving that to the pros as well. They'll be done everything in a week where it would take me a month.

 

Good morning Vermont! Happy almost Friday.

I'm itchy just reading about all that insulation Shawn, lol.

 

Good morning Rob. Me too! You need to do insulating of the attic in mid August. so cool in the attics at that time of year

 

Morning Rob! Shawn, couldn't agree more. Worth every penny you'll spend to let them do that!!

 

Morning Varmints...and...wannabees!!! Is that the weekend just around the corner???
