not a stitch of insulation

I learned today that this old house has no insulation!  There is nothing in the attic of the main floor, and there appears to be nothing in the walls, either.  I took the trim off the top of the kitchen window, and there appears to be nothing there.

I found Sunny South Insulators at the Home & Garden show this spring.  A guy came out to have a look, and this is what we found – nothing.  So, it would be $8500 to blow in insulation into the ceiling and walls.

garden dilapidation

I’m sure the previous owner had the best of intentions in placing all these logs and stones as such.  However, with no upkeep, garden masterpieces eventually become less than appealing.
