our house is about 40 years old, about 2500 sq ft living space and it appears severely under-insulatedwe are on an extremely limited budget but planning to take a loan out next year to make some improvementswhat is most cost effective: to have interior wall insulation added through holes around the walls, or to have high insulating siding installed all around the outside of the house?
Kevin is correctHot air rises and most heat loss from a home occurs through the ceiling into the atticYou can add cellulose insulation yourself by buying it in bags at a home center and they usually will let you use the machine that blows it in for freeBlow it in on top of what's already thereBefore you start boring holes in the walls, check all sources of leaks and ventsCaulk around the inside and outside of all windows and doorsAdd weatherstripping as wellBuy the foam insulators that go under switchplates and wall socket faceplates and install themBe sure your furnace filters are clean and check the ductwork for leaksThen check your energy consumption compared to what it was before you did this work or had it doneThen you'll know if you have to insulate the walls.
Okay, don't put them on tinfoilYou don't have to put the cookies on anythingJust let them bake for 12 minutes.
i beliebe you'd just put them in as they are and let thenm bake for apporx10 minutesgood luck!
