I watched the sub-contractor hired by the company who added a room to our house insulate our new room and it was extraordinary.  The first thing he did was spray expanding foam insulation behind each outlet.  Then he added the insulation between the studs.  I was impressed with the work and the new room stays warmer than the ...

Oh, my.  I don't think it gets any worse than what you are describing; you can't even "name names" while you are involved in the "negotiations".  I have been very lucky when it comes to contractors and have never had something like this happen.  We had a room added to our house by an A rated AL ...

Stinky crawlspaces aren't just native to Northern California!  Make certain you don't have standing water in the crawlspace ... if you do you'll have to get the downspout water away from the house before you can begin to solve this problem.  If you don't have standing water and it's just damp down there, then the key ...

Excellent tip!  I'm going to clean my lint trap as soon as I get home tonight.

I have to say that Inline Windows' line of Euro-styled Tilt ’N Turn windows is a welcome addition to the North American market.  I've never seen windows like this in the US, but they're all over the place in Europe.  These types of windows can be easily opened in one of two different directions, which gives you several ...
