Built my place in 93. Did most of the work myself so I know whats in it. 2 x 6 walls with 1 inch foam on out side. Ceiling has 18 inches at least of fibreglass. Scissor trusses in center for a vaulted ceiling. One story ranch. I though I did everything right. Low "E" windows, foam, sufficient attic venting, 93% high eff. furnace. But man, my AC runs alot! Granted we are in a HEAT WAVE in Mich but with 95 deg and mild breeze my air runs every ten minutes set at 77, shades drawn, little in and out traffic. In the winter, a 30deg day with a breeze is worse than a 15deg calm day. I know my windows are of poor quality(my fault, Caradco junk) but I figured I had an really efficient set up. I'm thinking of paying the $3-400 for an energy consult to see where my losses are. I just don't see my design as such a bad one. My folks live next door in a 1967 ranch, brick face 2x4 const with new windows (Marvin) and do way better than me! What gives??

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
