(NC)—Have you ever looked around your home and become overwhelmed by all the renovation projects you want to take on? Do you become lightheaded just thinking about where or even how to begin? Don't fret. It is possible to become a master of your own do-it-yourself project. The key to mastering your renovation aspirations is to start small and simple. Before you know it, friends may be asking in amazement, “Did you really do this yourself?”
“One way to familiarize yourself with your renovation abilities and the ins and outs of your home is by taking on a small inexpensive project,” says David Flood, Insulation Expert, Owens Corning. “Start with a project such as insulating your attic – this may seem like a tall order but the renovation can be quite easy and can help save you money on heating costs over time.”
While insulating your attic may not have people complimenting your craftsmanship, they will definitely envy your home upgrade and potential savings on your energy bills. As a first-timer, don't be too ambitious. Rather, take charge and step up to your first endeavour in your attic. Here are some points to consider:
• Approximately 7,000,000 homes in Canada are under-insulated and do not meet the recommended attic insulation level of R-50. Make sure that your home isn't one of them!
• Inadequately insulated attics may cause hot air from inside your home to escape outdoors and right through the roof – taking your energy bills right along with it!
• Use PINK FIBERGLAS batt insulation to insulate your attic to achieve a value of R-50 (that's a total of 15 inches of insulation). This can help you qualify for a government grant of up to $600 and may save you a significant amount in costs for the overall attic upgrade.
