RE: Saying goodbye to our reflective walls.. and how about some goat ice cream?
It looks beautiful. I imagine your wife is pleased with it. The shiplap is a really nice touch. Have you been able to feel the benefit of the added insulation yet? Is less heating required now?
Thank you @frugallady! She was happy to see the foil walls covered, for sure! The house was WAY less drafty this winter after the improvements we made! We still have two rooms left to gut out, so it should be even better next winter. This is our first year burning wood at this house as our heat source, so I don't have much to compare against. Our last house was a poorly insulated behemoth, so we had to burn wood and natural gas, and it was drafty, cold, and expensive to heat. The heating bill could exceed $300-400 a month in the winter. Excluding time, our heating costs this year were about $10-15USD in fuel to run our wood splitter and chainsaw.
Excluding time is the only way to calculate that and what a great difference!
