This morning the house felt warmer than usual. The thermometer said 25 Fahrenheit for outside with no wind and the usual 72 Fahrenheit inside. Kirk said we are having a heat wave as the last week it has been in the teens.
Our house is not the most energy efficient. It is an older home and may have started out being efficient but, insulation is not something we feel this winter. The wind is strong here. (I think I mentioned this before) This winter is colder than our first and we notice it a lot more.
The draft around the windows and coming through the electrical outlets on the west of the house are our first clue. This house needs help. Another project.
We believe part of the problem is the mouse population in this area. We also think, that is what caused the lack of insulation in this house.
Now we just have to come up with the money to fix this by next winter.
