I thought my bedroom felt a bit colder than
the rest of the house. I figured it's cause
it's the farthest from the furnace, and only
has one heat register.

Second factor might be insulation failure.
I have frost in a couple places, on the
indoor wall.

Cardboard and staple gun might not be pretty
(I live alone) but I hope it helps with my
energy bill. And my comfort at night.

Amazing what I learn when it's this cold out.
And, thank you to the kind people on the AHR
list who encourage me to look for and act on
cold spots.


A former co-worker gave me good advice years ago. Insulate the
skirting when you have a couple bucks in your pocket. No worries about
heat tape malfunction or pipes freezing. Wrap any exposed piping
including the sewer line with insulation.
