If you tour the Pope-Leighey home in Alexandria, you will see on the floor by the window a cutaway sample of the orginal wall. This is to let the tourists see the insulation used at the time. It consists of the outer wall of cypress, the inner wall of cypress and sheet of paper between...that's it.
My my, all of our talk recently has been of insulation..vented, non-vented, blown in cellulose, blown in fiberlass, fiberglass batting. All with "R" ratings in the high numbers. In fact, more men know their insulation numbers than their children's birthdays.
We haven't yet decided; the quotes are coming in. That's the ubiquitious Tyvek wrapping around the exterior walls. I think the next thing is the Hardie Board siding and then we start our onerous, sweat equity job of painting..uggh..
