Question about room temperature

13 years ago

When this room was renovated, was all of the insulation removed from the ceiling and walls or was it pressed into a smaller space behind the panels?

My guess is that the insulation is outside the nice sheathing boards you see. Notice the depth of the window jamb vs. the 2x wood framing.

I saw that. The wall lumber looks like 2x2? Maybe 2x4's that were cut lengthwise? The ceiling may have regular insulation above the joists.

Very cool space, you just don't want it to be too cool in winter...
