Insulation

Since the carpet downstairs is up, it is time to insulate.  This is being put up under the floor joists in the cellar and should help save on heating bills this winter.  The planks in the living room and parlour are pretty tight as it is and no air is getting up from below, but insulation can't hurt!

This product will hold up well to the sometimes damp conditions common to cellars.  Also, since the furnaces are also directly under that section of the house, it's not quite as frigid as one might think.  Either way, you can't go wrong with insulation in an old house!  This is a wonderful way to insulate an old house because you don't have to tear anything up or close it in.

The open house is on Saturday, November 5th and a lot will be done by then!  This obviously isn't something that is necessary for us as owners who will be moving out, but we wanted to see it done because we  believe in energy conservation and that old homes can be as energy efficient as new ones.
