Hot & Cold

One of the frustrating things about an old house is the drafts. On the colder days it seems that I am being constantly chilled by the currents of cold air running through each room.  Hence, our ridiculous gas bill the past couple of months.

One of the major contributors to the draftiness of our house is the second room upstairs. (The one with the floor project.)  It had NO insulation above it.  We have had to keep the door closed all winter.  Every time we entered the room a waft of cold air would come shooting into the hall. 

Thankfully that shouldn't be a problem next winter because Tony got some insulation into the attic.  He was also kind enough to take a few pictures for me because I am afraid of falling through the ceiling. :)

Doesn't it just look cold?

The insulation ended at the kitchen wall.

Looking back towards the living room. 

See the old chimney in the middle of the house.

Insulation batts ready to go...already looking cozier.
