Next up: wall insulation

My husband has looked into it and it appears that the gas utility will cover wall insulation much like they covered attic insulation. Back when the walk-through was done he thought the exterior walls were thick enough to offer adequate thermal mass and therefore not be worth the bother of insulating. Now that the negative digits have hit we're thinking that might not be the case. So he called the company and they pulled up our home inspection report and sent him the incentive info for the walls. YIPEE! We can do the framing and drywall ourselves, and we should be able to keep the costs within that incentive amount (meaning free to us other than our labor). This is especially nice because we were starting to think about other insulation approaches, none of which would be FREE. So it's getting a little nicer each month upstairs.

Now to decorate a Christmas tree.
