I had Blown insulation in the attic that had been there a long time and settled where you could easily see the ceiling joists. I got roll insulation bats that fit between the joists and laid them on top of the blown insulation. Eliminated one Deep Freeze by combining every thing into one. Since Sharon and I work of the day, we don't use Air Conditioning. In the Summer we stay in our Camper with the windows open, which is comfortable sleeping after the sun goes down. Use low energy fans to circulate the air. Turn the hot water heater way down in the Summer and take cool showers.Wash clothes in cold water. Dry on a line when possible. Make Coffee and Tea and keep it in a thermos instead of keeping a pot hot all the time. Sleep in a cold house with lots of cover to keep warm at night. Always look for ways to keep from using your energy to keep from heating or cooling anything.
