Last night we had a low temp. of about 9*F. I looked at the digital thermostat on the wall and it said 42*F. I said to myself "no way" and put my hand on the wall - it was like ice to the touch. Now this is an interior wall, the house is fairly warm and my exterior walls are not cold to the touch, they are insulated. So I figure I must have cold air dropping down from the attic inside the uninsulated interior walls. Standing next to these walls you can feel how they are sucking the warmth from the room. After a little investigating I found a large ceiling cavity that was letting cold air into the walls. I went to Home Depot and rented a blown in insulation rig, only $75.00 for the day, and bought a few packages of blow in type insulation, about another $120.00. A few hours later and my walls and attic space are full of insulation. Now my thermostat is reading normally at 71*F and all I have to do is patch the holes in the walls. Here's a few pics.
