It's been awhile since I blogged about my effort to cut down on my energy costs by joining the EcoEnergy grant program. I have done quite a few things around the house, mostly air sealing and caulking but I recently just finished the biggest part of the project. I had my basement walls and headers Spray Foam Insulated. I don't really have any ideas on the energy saved, that will come this winter. Already I notice a huge reduction in the musty smell down here. It's pretty much non-existant.
Here are a few photos of the project. I used steel framing but I think wood would have been cheaper and more efficient. We had to brace the steel with wood anyways as the foam without the bracing would have ripped the steel apart.
