The Igloo Look

 We went to Exeter, NH in early June because we were having the basement weatherized with spray insulation.  The instruction was to vacate while it was being installed and for 24 hours afterward.  We stayed away for two nights.

This is what it looks like now.




Don't the walls look like what you'd expect to see inside an igloo?

What's left to be done is another blower test to see where cold air can still leak in and installation of an exhaust fan in the downstairs bathroom.  Our electric company is subsidizing the work at 50% so it was a good deal. Plus, anything to improve energy efficiency is a win win.

If you want to see what the stone walls in the basement looked like before head to this post HERE.

You will be all warm and cozy this winter. The house we owned in Maine had that kind of basement.

I see that I commented on that other post, but, of course, I don't remember it. I do like it -- again -- however. :)

We’ll done. It’s good that progressive steps like this are subsidized. Heavens knows the fossil fuel industry is the biggest corporate welfare bum in history.
