The extra cost is negligible, it's pre-fab characteristics produce far less waste, and the reward for the superior insulating factors is evident every month with my utility bills (or lack there of).Jeremy and Karannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034572912618073392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782071132773305341.post-2897504356770366672010-12-11T12:16:43.719-05:002010-12-11T12:16:43.719-05:00Well congratulations.

I enjoyed your home tour and hope to get a solar thermal system going to retrofit my home in West Hartford out of propane....<br /><br />We share a passion for such "every man" projects..and the reward of doing the math.....I remain amazed at the wealth to experiment with these solutions and the reality of slow adoption. <br /><br />In 1974, I built a home in vermont, passive solar, R-38, no infiltration with wall system similar to yours.<br /><br />Good luck.applepeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537253714946442389noreply@blogger.com
