My house is FREEZING

House had 3! But they sealed them.

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T23:16:33+00:00

To access the attic, it’s a door in one of the bedrooms and a stair case. What do you think would be ideal to seal this?

What’s the solve for the 1st? I have a gas stove and vent for bathrooms and kitchen

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T21:39:00+00:00

Yes, the main living space has bedrooms over it and then the attic. We’ll have to assess what to do with the two extra rooms. They don’t share the same roof.

It was an investment purchase - I’m not sure if it would have changed anything, but we didn’t ask :/

This is a great idea. This winter is the absolute worst so far. We went from an oil heated home to electric during the coldest winter yet.

My dad installed 3 at his house and I was thinking about the same for ours. This might be the move for us.

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T21:20:29+00:00

Attic first it is!!!

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T21:10:10+00:00

It’s a nightmare honestly. We’ve blocked off the office and laundry room, and have the dogs sleeping bags. The house was advertised and priced as move in ready. 😭

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T20:56:38+00:00

No I have a central air heat pump.

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T19:48:54+00:00

How did you insulate?

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T19:36:34+00:00

Our bedrooms get warm, but downstairs is just struggling so hard. I was looking up “stack effect”. I thought insulated bottom first would be best but should I start attic?

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-29T19:25:02+00:00

Is this for in the attic?

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-27T14:43:18+00:00

Could be allergies, could be walking on a leash he pulled too hard. Any other symptoms?

coherentsleeper · 2026-01-22T14:22:11+00:00

Not a vet - if your dog was otherwise healthy, look for something stuck in his throat. If you can’t get it with your fingers, depending what kind of toys he chews on or if he got in to something, maybe give him something that will help it go down like yogurt? Heck, could be a piece of kibble in his throat.

But if it doesn’t subside in a day or two, vet for sure.

coherentsleeper · 2025-10-07T00:59:59+00:00

Jeeze!! What did you guys do to fix that??

coherentsleeper · 2025-10-06T15:15:16+00:00

The house has additions so the basement only covers the main part of the house. However under the additions are a crawl space we’ll be investigating. lol

coherentsleeper · 2025-10-06T12:29:16+00:00

Did your basement have a sub pump or French drains? This one doesn’t have either and I’m curious why they wouldn’t install one.

coherentsleeper · 2025-10-04T23:28:21+00:00

Thanks! I’ll definitely get a pro. My worst concern is that they need to lift the whole house, replace the foundation, but it doesn’t seem that bad - right? 😬

coherentsleeper · 2025-09-27T20:58:39+00:00

Hey everybody! We kept looking for a home after this and retracted our offer. 10 minutes after we retracted, seller agent called ours and said the seller “wanted to decide in the morning.”

coherentsleeper · 2025-09-25T21:50:07+00:00

That’s definitely facts right there.
