If there is a brick 3 story plus cellar building, the entire 3rd floor gets decent warmth, on the 2nd floor the southern 2\/3 gets nice but the 2 bedrooms on the north are COLD, with floors nearly cold as ice cubes (I’m sure I’m exaggerating…)The radiators work btw, and a new window has been ordered for the smaller bedroom, the 1st floor is so-so. Any suggestions on what to do to improve things with severally limited funds? (and banks refusing to let people access their lines of credit!!) There’s already going to be $380 for the window including installation. Priority is the 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Reason for cold could be the fact that the smaller bedroom is directly above the vestibule which is nearly as cold as outside. But the bigger one is not above the vestibule, why is it so cold? If I add a layer of insulation to vestibule ceiling and another sheetrock ceiling on top of existing ceiling would that work? What about spray insulation in the floors? Is that possible? How and what would cost be? Insulating the vestibule from outside is cost prohibitive as the main problem is the old original door with gaping holes at the top and the glass pieces are held in place with a metal grat! It’s a mess! But I prefer old original to new, but don’t have the $ to repair that now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
