Re: My Big Fat Renovation
I also firmly believe that the house is warmer already.
I hadn't mentioned this before, but another asinine thing the jackholes that built my house did, was instead of squaring the 2x4 ends of the house to each other and then overlapping the sheeting, the outside of the 2x4 front and rear walls are "flush" with the sheeting on the side wall, meaning the front and rear walls have exposed 2x4's at each corner. What this does is leaves a gap for cold air to blow right in because the sheeting doesn't perfectly butt up to the 2x4 wall. Nice. To fix that I wrapped each corner with the rubber/vinyl stuff I used to protect the roof.
It's stupid stuff like that, that completely ruins the efficiency of a home. Even though he's kinda weird, I really like that "Holmes on Homes" guy. I feel like I would get along well with him...
