Insulation will absorb water? I didnt relize that..

I still wish I had fiberglass in the walls insulating my place. Want my insulation? Reach down a hole in the wall (my roomates father who used to live here put one in the wall) and you can pull out the newspapers of the 70s..thats our insulation :smile: Weeeeeee

Surprisingly this place holds in heat and AC quite well..so whatever..

I think a good clean should be enough anyways..

To elaborate a little... glass in not an insulator (Only when refering to electricity, it only counts as insulation because it is better than nothing.

At night, your insulation cools, down to the core. As your home heats up, so do your walls. This warm air slowly travels through your cold insulation and condensates on it, being locked into place by the fiberous grids of the glass, stopping air flow through that wet section.

You are better to have no insulation, and have newspaper instead! At least you will have something to read, besides the crap on the back of insulation paper...

Some of our walls are so packed, that you can't even get air back there! You can feel the cold transfering right through the wall. These idiots even insulated our screen porch walls and outside hall walls! Didn't they see the big holes leading outside! The owner at that time was a real moron, which is how I got this house so cheap!

I remember half hearing in a phisics class I had to take that the real insulator is air and the best insulation materials are those that hold in the most air. Now, I'll admit I'm not 100% about this although I'm pretty sure that's what he said. School was an hour away and I was always pretty stoned by the time I got there (gotta love commutes) but I'm pretty certain I remember that and it makes sense when I think of what most insulation is made of. Althoug I'd have to say fiberglass doesn't have shit on 30 year old sunday funnies. If I can just find a way to make them stick between the floor boards.

Damn, I just realized I mispelled physics. Oh, well I've never claimed to be able to spell.

Well it hits -30 Fahrenheit here...sometimes lower.I'm a big fan of dry fiberglass.
You have to have a vapor barrier though or it will get wet.
