I wanted to share some good news.
Long story-Our home is 100 years old and has a couple different additions on it. Not very air tight and when we had it tested, we had the equivalent of 200 softball size holes in it. Needless to say, we didn't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning. It was COLD. Last winter we went through enough propane to run a small town. Well, for the last two weeks we've had work done on it. Winterizing. They finished yesterday and ran the test again. They cut the amount of airflow down to about 20% of what it was before! Better than they even thought it would be. I was told that we should go through less than half the amount of fuel we went through last winter. And when I woke up this morning, I was warm! We don't have any furnace hooked up yet, and it was about 38 degrees outside! How cool is that? Or, I should say, how warm is that?
Thank you Lord! You are so good to us.

That is great! Especially with the rising cost of heating fuel. To live in a home that old must be great too, lots of character!
Hope you have a nice day.
That is wonderful!!! The cost of heating and cooling houses now a days is crazy, so I am so glad you got this fixed before winter comes!
We live in a house 98 years old, so I understand.

I love being warm and I think that is great news! 200 softball holes down to 40? Trying to figure if my math is right. Isn't that a funny way to think about it... I've got 40 softball sized holes of fresh air! Enough to keep us healthy, but alot less than before to keep us warm! Enjoy your cozy home this winter.
Warmly, ~Melissa
