Okay, well I can answer those questions right now if you have a minute. We used foam but only in the roof or under the roof that's foamed in. The walls in the house are eight inches thick and they had two sets of baffles in them. It's this insulation that's pretty uncommon but they used in England and our designer decided that this would be the perfect thing. So I've got two layers of insulation in the walls. Every four inches there's another layer and we knew it was going to be that tight and that's why we installed this air exchanger. It pumps in air from the outside and pumps out air from the inside. The air from outside comes in over the beds and the air going outside comes out of bathrooms. So that runs all winter. We have a cat door and stuff like that and I have a winter cat door that's insulated but it's not completely tight. But you can tell how tight the house is when you turn on the exhaust fan over the stove and open a window it'll blow your hat right off. So you get the full thrust of the space. So we knew that was going to happen but it was main and we thought it would be cold and we wanted to be able to heat the whole house with a cigarette lighter which we probably can but as it turns out Maine is much warmer than it has been in a long time and it's even more useful in the summer. We can cool the whole house about I don't know 45 to 4800 square feet with two oh my god I lost the word two heat pumps two small bedroom sized heat pumps can keep the whole house even if it's 90 outside and keep it down to 70. So it worked out it worked out but it was by design it didn't happen by mistake. I hope that answers some of your questions. This is KC2PKG back to you. KFA PRJ.
