air in the attic...

Well since we don't have kids you (the few of you) get to read mostly about projects we are doing around our new house. Jason really is getting to become very handy and I am trying my hardest to not put my 2 cents in about certain things...though a few times...I have and it has turned out okay :)

Our attic is in our master bedroom which is okay, now. For the first few months we had about a 1/4 inch gap where the attic door was because it weighed so much. One day I had mentioned (ie. complained) enough about it that Jason sprung into action. We went off to Lowe's and bought insulator strips, a latch, a wood chisel, and some spectaularly cool foam goopy stuff.

All this led to our bedroom being at least 5 degrees warmer, possibly more, I wish I had taken a before and after tempurature. We went from sleeping with 2 regular blankets and 1 electric one to sleeping with 1 regular one! It is a very welcome and wonderful improvment to our bedroom - all for around 10$!

insulation.

Funny thing...the previous owners secured the pullknob to the door with rope using a beer/pop opening tab as a securing devise...strange but not unexpected.

air tight!
