The weekend was dedicated to re-insulating the garage loft where we are living. We had finished the walls, which didn't need to be changed, but the ceiling was started using too much insulation. The building inspectors want 2.5 inches of air space above the batts, so we needed to change it. That meant removing all the batts and putting in R14 under R22. After too full days, it is done! We put on one heater and the room stayed at 21 all night. Too warm to sleep! So now we are having to experiment with how to set the heater control so that it is more comfortable. And we can retire 3 other heaters no longer needed. A nice problem to have.

We are still waiting for parts to complete our HVAC system. So while we are toasty in the loft, it is -2 on the main floor. Although Len swears he likes working in the cool, I don't think he would complain if we could get it above freezing. Maybe today will be the day! Wouldn't it be ironic if we ended up having a nice warm house after finally getting the loft warm? Believe me there will be no complaints.
You'll be the first to know.
