About Me:

A wooden sided house always needs maintenance. We also have large wooden decks. A good sized garden also takes much time. Now I hear we are going to have chickens again.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Taking care of the pool so it is pristine when we have all the kids back, with their kids for some serious pool volley ball.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: I covered my attic insulation with an aluminum double layered sheets.

Haven't had time to see effect on electric bill, but we seem to hold in the heat much better. Anyone else tried this. The biggest change will be when the heat of summer gets trapped in the attic instead of fighting the air conditioning.

    I didn't know of the problem, but the attic is loosely laid and even goes over aid ducts. I ...»
    also have vents at both ends and a fan when temps get too warm. I will check on it though as time passes. It is too soon to see if it lower bill as we have had a very mild winter.. But if I crank up the heat or the fireplace for a few minutes I can tell the heat lasts and is not going out through the attic. I also had it put in the ceiling of my unfinished work room which is under the living room. I can tell it holds back the chill that used to seep up from that unheated room.

    Has the EPA made the light tower there in Edison switch to the screwy bulb?
