]]> Comment on Energy Cost Savings Sealing And Insulating by birthday parties san francisco http://homeandgardenpress.com/energy-cost-savings-sealing-and-insulating/comment-page-1/#comment-7531 birthday parties san francisco Sun, 18 Mar 2012 18:03:07 +0000 http://homeandgardenpress.com/?p=259#comment-7531 Finishing a basement in a new build <3 years old. The builder has put fibreglass bats and poly vapour barrier to seal the rim joists, stapled not accoustic sealed. Due to cost we're not going to be pulling down the existing insulation and vaopur barrier and having spray foam done. It's way too expensive event with the government grant. So the insulation on the exterior walls will stay as the builder did but I may just seal the base with accoustic sealant. We plan on staying the in the house another 3-4 years and then moving but possiby sooner All this in mind wondering if it's worth the energy savings to use one of the following options to seal the rim joists or just leave it alone? . 1: Pull out the fibreglass and seal with accoustic sealant, 2" Polystyrene and DIY Spray Foam (approx $400 in materials and a day or so time) 2: Professionally sprayed polyurethane foam (Approx $750 and no labour of my own) 3: Leave well enough alone. (Free with potential energy loss over time) Thoughts? Finishing a basement in a new build <3 years old.

1: Pull out the fibreglass and seal with accoustic sealant, 2″ Polystyrene and DIY Spray Foam (approx $400 in materials and a day or so time)

2: Professionally sprayed polyurethane foam (Approx $750 and no labour of my own)

3: Leave well enough alone. (Free with potential energy loss over time)

This is actually a great chance for you to do some renovation, something that you really can't do if the pond is filled with water.
