Apparently I'm a Lurker
Hey All,
I've been a member for a while, but just now noticed that the board is suggesting I actually post something. So here goes! Love all the cool DIY stuff on here, and the scientific approach! |

I'm more of a spurt-based project guy. For instance, my house was built in 1929, and I live in Michigan, so there are lots of opportunities to improve insulation. I've got a bunch of bags of cellulose in the basement and some baffles to staple to the attic rafters, but I think the cellulose has been hanging out for a year now, and I just picked up the baffles last week.
But this site has lots of cool stuff that encourages me to keep going, slow and steady wins the race! |

Welcome. Where about in Michigan are you from? I'm also from MI, and living in a old drafty house. If it wasn't for my wood furnace i would freeze.

Thanks SimpleManLance! I'm in Lansing. I have a gas furnace, and actually now that I think of it, I added a whole house humidifier this winter, as well as looking up the details in my furnace installation manual to figure out how to turn the blower down a bit. The humidifier installation probably counts as a project, since it required a fair bit o research and purchasing various tools and accessories to make it all come together. Its noticably improved the dryness in my house, which makes the overall comfort level significantly better.
