[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']Our family purchased a home last April. There is this back room/bathroom(its an addition) that has always been unusually warm/cold, depending on what the temp is outside. We thought it was a number of problems, which we would fix one at a time, but the problem still persisted.
At first, we figured it was because the windows were really really bad and clearly leaking, so we put in new fancy pants windows. Then we did some vent work to increase the airflow to the room.
The main source of the problem was the bathroom, we tried sealing some of the leaks with caulk.
Just recently, we had an exhaust fan put in the bathroom(there wasnt one before and yes, we did know that was against some code or whatever).
There is no insulation in the roof of the bathroom! Now I wonder how much insulation there is in the walls or the roof of the main room. I'm gonna have to have it checked out now. Its cost us a lot more in utilities to heat/cool the house. I'm wondering if someone is liable for not disclosing that the addition was...crap.[/QUOTE]
speaking of caulk, at work the other day a lday asked me "Do you guys have any black caulk?" I just bit my tongue and said follow me.
