Question:

Insulating tiled outside wall?

I have a space of 4 between the felted and tiled external wall. I need to insulate it but cannot get solid insulation sheet in there. Neither can I use glass fibre as there is no way to get access to the space. I could pour a liquid or granular material and it would eventually fill the gap. I do not want to use expanding poly foam as I cannot get far enough down the gap and also as it expands it may bulge the tiling outward.What can I use? I thought of vermiculite, bu do not know where to buy it in the UK.Any other ideas?Jonah

Answer:

Sounds like some body has put an additive in the transmission fluid. you can try new fluid but if it is slipping there is likely a more serious problem.
blown blow the cellulose insulation into it in the states we can rent a machine to do it
Any wall thats not insulated in a house will cause a cold surface and any warm air coming in contact with the wall will cause mildew inside the house, doing this in a bathroom will not only cause the bathroom to be really cold but also multiply the mildew issue, remove the tiles and insulate the wall from the inside, battons and insulating blankets or foam board, or a plasterboard backed foam board dot and dabbed. Then you can tile the wall
I would do just that, go to a transmission shop and see if changing your fluid will help before going thru all the costs of a rebuilt transmission
You really need to identify if the transmission is an auto or a manual. However, I doubt these things are related other than the bad motor mounts may have lead to the tranmission problem. If you have an automatic, you can get a factory rebuilt unit for about $1900, but you need to decide if this car is worth it. The total bill could be about $2500 with labor. A lot more if you get it done at a Honda dealership.
