    The vast majority of those indoor heat victims had #AC at home, but the unit was broken in 70% of cases – while one in 10 had no #Electricity to run even a...

  3. 5. Only would have done the work I did with a FLIR, otherwise it would be difficult (if not impossible) to determine where to inject the foam.
    6. Better to drill two holes than one, the second hole (higher) releases air from the cavity and allows the foam to expand better. if you have a very leaky wall, not as much of a consideration.
    7. "Gorilla Foam" was a failure vs. fresh "Great Stuff", but i had a number of dud "Great Stuff" cans, too. #insulating #insulation #weatherization #foam

  8. Noticed this at the temporary housing the other day. Daylight through a door... leaking heat out, cold in. Easy fix to this. Really helpful during something like this Polar Vortex to minimize heat loss. #weatherization #insulation #enery #EnergyEfficiency
