Change in Perspective
To the Editor:
Just a quick note to say thank you:
This month’s issue was useful and on
target. I am a subcontractor, and sometimes
I don’t feel that every issue of JLC
has something for me. Now I’m playing
GC, building my own home, and
suddenly every article speaks to me.
Funny how a slight change in perspective
can so greatly change your view.

Insulation Upgrade Worth the Cost
To the Editor:
Andy Shapiro’s summary (On the
House, 7/01) of the diminishing returns
from incremental increases in insulation
R-value illustrates an important
point. The analysis mentions that cellulose
fills the cracks and gaps that typically
occur in fiberglass insulation, but
ignores the performance penalties
