| Summary: | New Bungalows and apartments are out. 2 cols x 2 3/4 The beauty of this small house is in its superb insulation. Based on the sandwich theory, it has from the inside out, boards, building foil, horizontal spacers every three feet, another layer of foil, more spacers, foil and then the outside layer of board and batten. The air spaces keep the house insulated and the foil provides a surface for the condensation to slide down. For further information on their design, contact Betsy and Bob Cecill, Tracey's Pinch, Tors Cove Post Office, Southern Shore. |
