Very generous of you. It is very likely that I will need help on that part.

So, I take it that your house is a passive house? When was it built?

When you say "humidity block" do you think that is the same thing as "vapor barrier"?

..and what part of Norway do you live in? I'm curious about the Heating Degree Days there.
