Wow!  What a difference being almost fully insulated makes!  After my usual Saturday routine at Kate’s, spent a couple of hours this morning cleaning the new house’s basement.  The temp inside when I arrived was 40° (just where I try to keep it when workers are absent).  The wind chill outside was – 2 at that time.  The propane heater didn’t come on once while I was there, even with three windows cracked open (for putative moisture control) on the house main level.  Perry and Steve came for a mid-afternoon sauna.  With the wind chill then down to – 11, for some reason nobody wanted to sit outside during our cool-down cycles…  Bunch of wimps!
