D beaty. In 1991 I built a new house around my 1952 ranch. Back then if you built a new house around old house, the property taxes was determined by the age of the original house.
It took me 5 years to build this house and double the size, add a 2 gar garage, replaced everything, doors, windows, electrical, plumbing, new kitchen. Every room with an exterior wall was gutted. R15 fiberglass and R 4.7 celetex tuff R extruded urethane with aluminum foil of both sides to stop radiant heat was installed before I drywalled. R 50 attic, Anderson casements, 2200+ sq ft, 25000 brick. I used to have NG furnace and 2.5 ton central air. I still use furnace blower for AC, and added baseboard heat in each room. Replaced NG water heater with electric. I have a total electric home. Total annual electric bill is under $1600 which includes electricity for well, 4 dusk to dawn lights and power for workshop.
Electric baseboard never requires filters, never worry about repairs. Never lost electricity in winter, but if I do, I have two 18000 Btu portable propane radiant heaters and back up generator for well, refrig and a few lights. No insulation in interior walls. No room gets colder than 60. Kitchen and living room are warmer. Keep AC on 75 degrees in summer.
Improve insulation in attic and exterior walls if you want to save money not put in interior walls. Cold rooms will cause condensation and mold. geo

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
