So my wife and I bought our first fixer upper a couple years back, since day one my main concern was keeping this house warm during the winter. We installed new windows, new heater, over caulked, over insulating..yada yada yada. The only thing I have not done was rip down all the plaster walls and re-insulate this place. We finished the rehab last year, or so I thought... When last year's winter came we were going thought almost 300 gallons of propane a month, seriously. We checked for leaks and everything, nothing.
Long story short this cinder block ranch house has cardboard for insulation in the walls and we don't have the money/patience to rip them all down and redo everything or get someone to drill holes everywhere and pump insulation in them. So instead of having a pity party I went out and bought myself a napoleon 1402. I wish I made this decision sooner, this is my first year that all my indoor plants are still alive! Me and my plants thank everyone here for all the info they've shared.
