MetroMPG,

Thanks for posting this very interesting article. This is exactly the approach I am taking to my house. It is heartening to see that the same approach is being applied elsewhere.

Deep energy retrofits are not easy and not cheap but in my opinion they are well worthwhile. My advice to a home owner who wants to retrofit an old house is to divide the big task into many small target tasks and work on them when the time, gumption and financial resources are available, and relax when they aren't.

It gives me a secret pride that I am giving new life to a piece of history.

I know that the ghosts that live here with me are pleased!
