# 29 Can Dos




Insulating your house can help enormously in reducing your energy consumption. We live in a relatively old house that was drafty enough to flutter the curtains. A few years back we were encouraged to get a free energy audit and then follow their recommendations. To our surprise we discovered that our walls had no insulation at all. With the help of State subsidies (they paid half the cost,) we insulated the house and vented the attic which has helped greatly in tightening the place up. Now thanks to the Stimulus bill there is also federal money available for making your home energy efficient. Hope you all take advantage of the money that is now available for our home improvement use.
This piece is about insulating your house. The open window looking out on the tree is surrounded by blue and orange insulating gels.
