How To Home Insulation - About Me


Last year when my girlfriend and I bought this place, we thought it would be great to fill it up with a bunch of kids and live a happy life here. And everything was going fine until winter came along and we got our first heating bill which was all but a $1000 for a month, for one month.

So it shocked us, it scared us we didn't know what to do because there's no way we can afford the kids that we want to have: the diapers, the toys, the clothes and the heat that we were going to have to pay for to heat this house.

So faced with that; I decided to do everything I could to lower our energy bills and reduce our carbon footprint on this planet. And as I was doing it, I decided to take my video camera along for the ride. And so I've tried to document everything involved in saving energy and making your home more comfortable and more efficient.

So if you are interested at all in saving money on your energy bills, reducing your carbon footprint or even just making your home a healthier and more comfortable environment for you and your family. I'm here to take you through the process and show you what you need to do to get it done. And I'm going to tell you it's not the cleanest work. You're going to find corners of your home you've never seen before and you'll to be in some cramp places.

But at the end of the day, you only have to do this one time. And it will save you money for the rest of your life or the rest of the time you live in this home. And it will also save the people who live in your home from here on in, ya know, a lot of money and it's a good thing you can present when you sell your house.

So anyway, I just wanted to let you know if you're interested at all follow along. I've been taking my camera along and I've tried to edit and show you everything you need to do. But it's really inexpensive to do, most of these fixes can pay for themselves in less than a year or two. So you can get a really good return on your investment. You can save money and you can save energy and you can save carbon from being emitted to this planet.

So please follow along with me and we'll tear my house apart and put it back together.
