insulation...a great investment
i own a typical 1950's ranch style home...purchased in 2000
it is brick and will survive anything nature throws at it
there is one room that always remained much colder in winter and was useless
it is perpendicular to rest of the house and over a crawl space
putting carpet on wood flooring did not help
there was 3-4 inches of original rock wool insulation in attic space
a contractor was working in neighborhood and was going around to other homes drumming up business
there were credits from both the natural gas utility and the govt
after a long discussion and all my questions answered to my satisfaction, i agreed to hire them and add more insulation to attic...i went with the max R60
my home is 100 ft from the street where the truck parked
they ran a hose from the truck in the front door and up the attic pull down steps
a fan blows loose insulation thru the hose...NO NOISE AND NO CLEANUP
it took 2 hours to do the entire attic area
WITHIN 24 HOURS WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! for the better
the savings began immediately on electric and natural gas utilitys
