So I guess I did a pretty good job with all of my caulking! They also plugged my refrigerator into a little device which told us that even though it's 12 years old it's performing up to energy star levels. Booyah!<br /><br />The only thing that would make a real impact would be to do blown in insulation in the walls, but since they'd have to drill holes in the walls from inside to do it - through the lovely 1970's era faux wood paneling, that would pretty much require remodeling the entire house... which I'm not quite ready to do at the moment... but some day!<br /><br />Still - it's REALLY nice to know all of that before I spent a pile of money on windows or a new fridge or or something like that.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
