Staying warm

Cow is stunned how it could have been 86 degrees on Monday, and by Thursday only 52.

Silent and unseen though, her new roof insulation silently work. When Cow left for work yesterday, she had warmed the house to 72 and then turned off the heater. When she returned home at 7 pm, 11 hours later, the house was 70 degrees. Last night, Cow warmed the house to 72 before bed, then turned the heater off. Overnight, despite an outside temperature of 40, the house only cooled to 65.

Blown-in cellulose insulation, folks. Keeps you cool in summer and toasty-warm in winter.

Moo!

I'm very jealous of your insulation. My 1960's vaulted ceilings leave no attic, and thus no room to upgrade the insulation without removing the roof. That's on my list of things not to repeat when we buy another house!

No attic?

Guess things built in the era of cheap power didn't think them necessary.

Now if only you had a thatched roof like this picture, you'd be snug.

Moo!

That's outstanding. Thanks for the info. I'm not sure what sort of insulation we have in our house, but now I'm going to check it out!
