An excellent point. As it turns out, my house is woefully under insulated. I
just got back from visiting a Velocity builder and commented on how much warmer
his shop was than mine without any auxiliary heating other than the draft from
the house. He showed me the insulation in his attic and I realized that
compared to him I've got the equivalent of a Sunday newspaper's insulation
upstairs. At least this expense is one that will benefit the entire house,
making the initial bite very tolerable.
