I got started on my home improvement project yesterday, and as usual, I was just a bit optimistic. I found out why I don’t install radiant barrier foil for a living. I did make a good dent on the job, but got nowhere near finishing.
If you look at the web sites of foil manufacturers, you’re likely to see guys walking around, merrily going about their task. Well, I’m here to tell you, it just ain’t so. At least not in my attic. Our living room has a vaulted ceiling. It’s nice to look at, but the framing makes negotiating the attic space a bit daunting.
All this “work” is seriously cutting into my running time. That stinks on ice.
Don’t get me wrong. I know this project will pay off. I already sprayed radiant barrier paint up there a few years ago, and that really cut my utility bills, but this Energy Q Thermal Barrier foil will block 97% of heat. So they tell me.
At $0.43 per square foot you can’t go wrong.
I’m also adding insulation as I go along. That part isn’t fun but it will also pay off. And the good thing is that all these materials are eligible for the energy tax credit. Not my labor cost, but I guess you can’t have everything.
Now I’ll have to update my homeowner’s insurance policy…
