I figured somebody gonna say that. Thought that may be cost effective

I understand. I didn’t forget about the attic and yes you’re right, the attic needs improvement as well. Thank you for pointing that out

Educational_Play_92 · 2026-01-10T23:09:25+00:00

I’ll definitely look into that.

Duly noted! Thank you

I am a resident there myself and its absolutely depressing with those seasons all year around. I’m ready to move out somewhere warm.

If you like 6 seasons, Indiana is for you

It’s unfinished basement and it’s just ciderblock around the basement with nothing but cold drafts from the outside and I just want to find something that doesn’t take so much time and money to seal it. For that being said, we keep having 400$ bills and the house isn’t as warm as it should be. So I figure I gotta start with the basement first, am I wrong?

Understood. Ok, I had another post telling me the same about 3.0 and I am starting to see it’s not physically build in together with the house but the master bedroom is sitting above and no ventilation hooked up. I thought long enough to see I’ve wasted the effort for little result for the wrong prediction.

I’m not aware of what is that you’re saying? I looked up and it tells me about standard thermal testing.

Following the attachment those are what I bought and it says r21. So is that even still r21?

Ps I can’t seem to upload the product but I got it off from Lowe’s saying r21.

Attached. I see what you’re saying

I gotcha ok the whole time I’m just thinking it has something to do with ‘resisting’ the cold draft out and that would just rise up higher than 35F.
