What’s the best way to instigate a riot? Show up in riot gear. Show the students how you want them to act. Harrisonburg police go too far, too often. Students are not ruining our good town. Those parties happen every year with minimal incident. This is not a police state.

Comment on Insulating a Mayor’s Attic by kaidegner

Josh-

I bought $208 worth of cellulose insulation (85% receycled material). I had a $50 gift certificate, so paid only $158. The blower machine required $250 deposit at Lowes, ALL of which I got back when I returned it – so it was free.

With all the other variables (weather, temperature, etc), and the fact that I myself don’t live there (I rent it out), it’ll be hard to give you a dependable, exact number. Also, as I’ll post in the next video, I also did some things to decrease leakage in my duct system, which should improve things.

I will say that immediately after the insulation installation (say that five times fast), the temp increased 3 degrees.

Kai,

It would be great to see a follow-up post with actual energy savings numbers vs. the cost of the additional insulation.

I would agree with Kathe, to be healthy one must be prepared! Almonds are one of my personal favorites. I keep a bag of them in my desk drawer at all times. A hand full is all you need. It will kill the hunger pain in no time flat!!!
How is that running treating you?
