THANK YOU ALL !!! I this this IS a party right here !

The ended up using 26 bags of insulation, and told me that all I had was a find dusting of deteriorated paper on the 2x4's. The house was built about 40 years ago, and it has never been insulated in that time.

Now I send a form in to the gas Company and get a rebate of about 15 cents per square foot. And that goes into the roof fund !

Woo hoo! Just in time for your summer heat!
Good point ! I am freaking out about how suddenly quiet it is here. I keep expecting Jack Nicholson to break through the door or something.

I sure hope it helps as much as it ought to in the summer. $200 a month to cool a house to 85 is pretty steep.

I was thinking who did you kidnap now? :lol:

So did you get the roof fixed?
Think Norman Bates.....

Well, this is step one. Long story.

Reader's Digest: Can't do roof until insulation is R30 (city reg).

Couldn't get existing energy program to do insulation until roof doesn't leak. Catch 22.

Used insurance money earmarked for roof repair to insulate attic.

Now am raising money to pay for materials so Habitat for Humanity can provide the labor.

Took 26 bags of insulation to do a 1400 square foot attic. $650

I like BBH's idea of a roof raising party. I'll run of to TJ's and pick up a coupla bottles of wine to start it off ;)
