Brrr....its cold!

I cannot imagine what it cost to heat this home with the lack of insulation that existed in it...(read: none) 

From the beginning of this project, blowing in insulation to the main house was a MUST in the budget.  With my new found knowledge, I understand now the time to do this is when the siding is off, so the insulation can be blown from outside...the process proved to be very interesting to watch, and I feel better already knowing we'll be a bit warmer this winter....& can put to use the money the government is printing (wink & a smile), by cashing in on the $1500 energy saving tax credit!

the polka dot house....(so the insulators drill holes in each "bay" and then using a hose, blow insulation in a measured amount, then plug the hole with a wood plug.  These pics are from day 1 of the 2 day project.
