It may be winter but that hasn't stopped our progress this year. We had many things that we wanted to get done that didn't happen because of conditions but there is no shortage of work that could be done. Our original plan had been to insulate the window and door walls with spray foam as the next project. This ended up not working out. We discovered (thankfully though research and not trying to do it) that the foam is sensitive to both temperature and moisture.

This condensation collects on the uninsulated surfaces....also known as the areas we need to insulate.

We immediately went on to our ne
