Our first house was less than 900 Sq feet with only a crawlspace. It had electric baseboard heat and some months would cost 350-400/month to heat it. Room by room I gutted the house, replaced windows, insulated, and sheetrocked. Probably averaged 800-1000$ per room. Each year I did 1 room and each year saved another $20 per month on the electric bill. The house was older and somewhere in the past they dropped the ceiling from 9' to 8' and insulated some in between. I didn't insulate the attic until I was done fishing wires and remodeling. Our last winter there we blew in $250 of insulation in the attic, in 3 months we saved more than that on our electric bill. Found out where the heat was going :).
Fast forward to our house now, built in 75 and insulated ok. We had Menards rebates built up and used them to buy insulation again. Blew 12" of fiberglass across the whole attic and we never have been able to notice the difference. Had a hail storm come through so we put in super duper vinyl triple pane, krypton gas, sealed windows from North Country to replace the origional leaking Pella windows. The windows leak less but I know we didn't save the money the said we would. I'm happy with the windows and love the service if anything breaks on them but for 2 houses new windows have done little if any to help. Your results may vary.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
