I want to make my home as energy efficient as possible, But I am not going to replace my leaded glass windows with storm widows, or my siding on my homeI am redoing the interior of my home, and will be adding some insulation, the blown in cellulose, has settled in the walls and the top half is not insulated wellSO, do I add a vapor barrier on the inside of the wall after the insulation, or do I not worry about itThis remodel involves three rooms on my main level at this timeI will work on the rest of the home later as time and $$ allow, but want to do this right the first timeThanks for any insight/thoughts that you might have.
I would suggest that vegetables are high in fibers and you can cook it in a half-cooked preparation in order to attain its nutrients.
Lentils, no soaking required, just simmer for 25-30 minutesQuick-cooking oatsCanned beans such as kidney beans, black beans, chick peas, great northern beans, etcjust heat and eatWhole grain bread, check the package for fiber contentApples are a good source of fiber if you eat the skinBroccoli Carrots High fiber cereals like bran flakes
The last answer makes no senseIf you are putting in batt insulation, then sure, you should put up a vapor barrierYour original sub floor probably is tongue and groove, but I'm sure there is a pretty solid finished floor on topThe more vapour protection you have the better offBut, not replacing the windows is a silly ideaThat is where the greatest heat loss comes fromAlso, check the attic spaceIf you are replacing the ceiling plaster, then you could also install vapor barrier on the ceiling and lay batt insulation in the attic spaceInstall enough roof vents to remove and moisture laden air from the attic space and you will be helping your home a lotRegarding the last answer: A two hundred year old house with no vapor barrier is fine, but it depends where he lives, what the climate is like, etc etc
