After seeing how the insulation (of lack thereof) was creatively used over the foyer during our recent frozen pipe saga, I began thinking where in the house other areas may have been affected by this type of workmanship. Two areas sprung to mind: The side entrance that I really can't do too much about because of a lack of access and the bay window area that contains the breakfast nook on the first floor and master bedroom sitting area on the second. Strategically placing a work light to shine into the area under the breakfast nook in the basement I then went outside.
And found light shining through from the bottom of the lower deck....oh joy. Explains quite a lot about why things get so cold during the winter. When the north wind blows it literally gets pushed into the basement.....next year will be a bit different :)
