27002. arkymalarky - 7/11/2012 12:02:27 AM Okay. That insulation sounds like just the thing. The house will probably end up being gutted. 27003. arkymalarky - 7/11/2012 12:07:26 AM I would like this house to have just what yours has, except the heat pump. But it's so tiny we won't use much electricity. I may sacrifice a tub, which is a big sacrifice for me and Mose. No gas or propane. It has a huge wood stove, and tho I'm deathly allergic to wood smoke, this one is top notch and it doesn't affect me as much as in AR. We'll rarely use it anyway 27004. concerned - 7/11/2012 12:32:15 AM Re. 27002 -
I am seriously considering using some for my basement for wall insulation.
I found the website for the place in Illinois:
Insulation for Less
Might have some place in Colorado like this. As you can probably tell, they are aching to unload the stuff. I like the pictures of a big truck flatbed trailer loaded with it in their lot. With a R Value of 6.5 per inch it looks like you can get an insulation value equal to that of a 6" wall using fiberglass or rock wool in a 4" wall.
They also have big honking bundles of 'odds and ends' all strapped together for $50. Looks like you could do the walls of the whole place for two or three hundred if you went with those. They also appear to have foil backed which is useful for radiant heat barriers for attics and such as well as walls. 27005. arkymalarky - 7/12/2012 1:09:38 AM When we get to a decent connection tomorrow I'll show Stan. 27006. judithathome - 7/12/2012 4:13:43 PM And the little town it's Ian
I had to chuckle because as soon as I saw that "Ian", I knew your Iphone was not used to an Arkansan accent! 27007. wabbit - 7/12/2012 7:00:04 PM LOL, that was the same thought I had, that the voice software is actually picking up her accent! 27008. arkymalarky - 7/12/2012 9:17:56 PM Ha! I thought I had a cosmopolitan accent! 27009. judithathome - 7/23/2012 8:18:52 PM MsNo is coming to see me tomorrow! 27010. vonKreedon - 7/23/2012 8:25:53 PM How fun! Say hi to my Cos for me! 27011. arkymalarky - 7/23/2012 8:47:12 PM Yay!

She brought ICE CREAM! 27014. vonKreedon - 7/25/2012 8:58:29 PM Can you, or anyone, let me know why MsNo has been so notably absent from this cafe? 27015. judithathome - 7/26/2012 4:25:50 AM Busy and traveling. 27016. Ulgine Barrows - 8/4/2012 10:39:30 AM hello everyone. I hope you are doing well.
I was unemployed for a long time and now I have a government job that I've resigned myself to, yet feel lucky to have. Guess it's part of being grown up ; )
My son is 17 now and going into his senior year.
hello everyone. I hope you are doing well.
LOL, it took me 3 tries for my password. I almost gave up and then I sat back and took a deep breath. It all came rushing back.
Mostly I wanted to drop in and say thanks to you all. This is a wonderful corner of the internet. 27017. Ulgine Barrows - 8/4/2012 10:41:59 AM hah. forgot about the wonderful idiosyncracies of The Mote.
The bottom part of the message was to have been my re-entry to the community :) 27018. Wombat - 8/4/2012 5:05:01 PM Welcome back! 27019. arkymalarky - 8/4/2012 8:29:51 PM Ulgine!!!!!! 27020. judithathome - 8/5/2012 9:27:28 PM Fantastic to see you, Ulgine...lotsa things going on in all our lives.
Stick around! 27021. Ulgine Barrows - 8/6/2012 1:37:46 AM Yes, I've been reading about the fantastic cabin in the mountains! It sounds idyllic.
Had a good day myself - laid out by the pool and got some some sun & some exercise.
It's not so dang hot anymore, which is a relief.
