Andy-

You're right - we didn't want to use the character there in front, so we compromised: we filled the old, true 2x4 walls with cellulose from the inside. Then we replaced the big bay windows & front door, air-sealing carefully as we went. This also allowed us to fix up the bay bases & roofs with spray foam. Finally, we were able to seal the fascia with spray foam up at the top of the wall, and we're retrofitting the basement walls from the inside with spray foam. When we're done, we'll have another HERS test done to see how well we did.

Thanks for keeping up,

jeff

Thanks for the blog, it's nice to be able to experience someone else's renovation without the mess. I kept waiting to see how you were going to tackle the brick front, but haven't seen it yet. Was that not an issue in the initial audit? Is it too much character to address? Will it be addressed on the inside? Thanks!

When installing this house special spray foam begins to look like an entire film of science fiction, and protective equipment is necessary because the spray can be harmful to the lungs.

This a nice and environmental friendly post. Greenhouse effect is not an easy joke that will be taken for granted. It should be given importance if we don't want to regret in the future. Thank you for this concern.
