They are made of some 25,000 ton blocksNot even toadys cranes could lift or build them! So i thin it was probably that people used dinosaurs to do it.
Any insulation in the walls will help maintain the temperaturesBlown in is the cheapest and easiest.
Wall insulation will definitely help you control the temperature in your homeNot only will this type of insulation help keep your home warm in the winter it can also be effective in keeping your home cooler in the summer.
I have a similar problem because my house is about 60 years old,and we have Cast Iron Hot water radiators,so because the hot water in the pipes naturally rises, it gets much warmer upstairs than downstairsFirst thing you might do is get a FREE home energy audit.There are many companies offering it including your own electric company more than likelyThey will pinpoint for you specific areas in your home that are Huge energy wastersThey will offer to fix those areas (insulate,caulk and seal) too for a price, but you don't have to buy anything,just look at their report and shop around for the best price to get the work doneDo you need new windows and can you afford them? That is normally this biggest source of heat loss along with old drafty doorwaysThere are companies that specialize in just doing insulation,and they supposedly guarantee savings and a warmer home.Make sure you see that in writing on the contractIf you want to install rolls of insulation yourself in your basement ceiling joists, its not hard to do and will save you moneyGood luck!
Yes, you can never have too much insulation whether you live in a hot or a cold climate; insulation lets you maintain an inside temperature different from the outside temperature at the lowest costIn the cold room, you should also carefully inspect around the windows for cracksIt is amazing how much warm air can escape through the smallest crackThe solution? A $2.00 caulking gun and a $4.00 tube of good caulkingIf the room is still too cool for baby, your least expensive solution is probably a thermostatically controlled electric baseboard heaterBuy one at least 30 - 36 long, 1500 watts, 110 voltsThen you can keep the whole house cooler while maintaining baby's room at a more ideal tempLocate the baseboard heater along the wall under the window.
