Insulation Weekend

After getting our latest electric bill, I was spurred to action to reduce it, even though it was not as bad as a should have been. Month over month it is about 30% higher for a house twice the size. Most of the attic had been covered in R-19 batts. In many places, about 30%, it had been pealed back. We replaced all pulled R-19 with R-30 and used loose R-19 to pack the edges. We also spread several rolls of R-30 perpendicular to the original insulation. Sean took a break to ride his horse. (and contemplate Favre playing for the Vikings.)
