Bought a 1967 brick rancher two months ago. *The termite inspector

the insulation is gone. *For some reason the home inspector never
mentioned lack of insulation. *Since all my previous homes have been on

Obviously the old insulation was ripped out for some reason (flood,
maintenance?) and never replaced. *I've called a few people to give me
estimates. *Any ideas on what to expect? *The house is around 1700 sq

International Residential Code 2003 calls for R-19 in floors.
