It takes quite some work for adding certain things. Guess if we would not have been working and living in Indonesia at the time our home got built, we would have had it done right away. That would have been so much easier! But there was no Internet connection back than... only via telex.<br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-57780613024369832812013-07-05T18:00:22.034-04:002013-07-05T18:00:22.034-04:00Dearest Mariette,

When we were making my husband's hobby room, I first saw how the house is built first hand and also insulation. Unbelievable to see that he did it. So sorry for my belated comment, couldn't help miss commenting, my friend.<br /><br />Lots of Love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako* orchid0324https://www.blogger.com/profile/01230850040531307075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-20501687190881065202013-07-03T21:43:57.649-04:002013-07-03T21:43:57.649-04:00Beste Marian,

Daarom wilde Pieter het ook met alle geweld gedaan hebben nog voordat we op 19 april naar Miami vlogen en de volgende dag naar Curaçao. We kwamen pas op 1 mei thuis in de vroege morgen dus toen was het nog heter. Heel wat stof maar de isolatie is gelukkig géén glasvezel. Ik had het in mijn post vermeld dat het Eco-vriendelijke witte cellulose was. Maar leuk is anders, heel wat natte hemden en heel wat was. Ook ontzettend stof overal; dat houd je niet tegen. <br />Maar goed; die lelijke klus is geklaard en alweer vergeten. Jullie weten er ook alles van. Het valt ook meestal om e.o.a. reden wel tegen met je planning. <br />Lieve groetjes,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-62448341713043964962013-07-03T14:19:55.897-04:002013-07-03T14:19:55.897-04:00Ppppfff wat een WERK is dat geweest voor je Pieter...Ppppfff wat een WERK is dat geweest voor je Pieter...<br />En ik weet niet, maar was het toen ook al zo warm daar?

I added insulation at my attic a couple of years ago also since the insulation was not enough. I think it's worth every penny I spent on it.

Now it is evenly and compacted under those boards for more buffer. We also did work on the roof; will show that later... This will pay off every single month. Whatever opening you improve for not having heat or cold penetration into your home will pay off! With this economy we must look more at all those details that will up to big differences. <br />Hugs to all of you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-67879822039051411662013-07-01T15:39:09.455-04:002013-07-01T15:39:09.455-04:00Sì certo Paola, dobbiamo investire al fine di isol...Sì certo Paola, dobbiamo investire al fine di isolare la nostra casa così bene come possibile e quindi meno paga di elettricità per il riscaldamento e raffreddamento.
