With our visitors gone - we really enjoyed their company - it was time to take on another major house project:  Home insulation.

We knew, this house had little insolation in the walls ... we saw some in the bathroom when we redid a section of the wall there. 

But!!!!  The pictures show what we found - there was absolutely no additional insulation in these walls outside the bathroom.  The only "insulation" was the wall material and some loose fitting plastic sheeting to keep moisture (and air???) out. 

It took us two days to remove the wall boards in these 2 rooms.  We will have them spray foamed tomorrow morning.

We are sure that the new insulation will make a huge difference in comfort (and heating costs).

And yes, we will have to rebuilt all these walls and re-finish them - probably, it will take more time to do this compared than removing them ....
