Yesterday was in the mid 60s here along the front range of Colorado. Today about 59. I put lots of insulation in the shop. It stays cool in the summer and comes up fast when I turn the heat on. I can gloat because it was an expensive pain in the arse that seemed to take for ever to finish. Glad I did it now but last winter as I was handling all that glass I kept thinking that maybe I should have my head examined. This morning a guy came over and gave me a bid to blow r-38 on top of the r-11 that's in the attic in the house. There is a tax credit and state and federal rebates that will pay for about half of it. I think that time is about to run out on that deal. Worth looking into. I hope to install some hot air solar panels on the south side of the barn before next winter. A couple of PV panels to power some DC muffin fans to blow hot air in during the day. Looks easy to do.
