Home insulation: Do it yourself & save as much as 40%
Insulation may not be a particularly exciting topic, but it is of great interest to anyone who owns a home or is considering building one. Yost, a home remodeler, states that as many as half of all houses in the United States were underinsulated in the mid-1980s; that means a loss of money for homeowners and a huge waste of energy. Here, Yost shows how to insulate both new and older houses. He describes the wide variety of insulation types and their pros and cons. His instructions are straightforward and clear for most homeowners. Those building a new home will benefit by knowing what to ask from their builder. Most public libraries should consider.- Jonathan Hershey, Ak ron-Summit Cty.
