I have got one myself since like 10 decades. I enjoy it also, not modded as yours nevertheless.<br />Currently it doesn't work, it chokes when heat. Brought into a neigbour of mine and he'll find a deeper look at it.<br />It seems just like some have had trouble working with the automated decompression valve, so does yours have that?<br />Enjoy a superb day!

I have Pella windows, I...Funny you should say that. I have Pella windows, I believe they are at the bottom end of the spectrum. His view of Pella's is born from experience. The only reason I have Pella's is because I found $2300 worth of windows for $600 and these are good high end Pella's. There are better windows on the market and if you can find something better I would. The windows I got did not fit my size goals or the look I wanted but I just could not walk past the deal with new, in the box windows. These are fiberglass and have been easy to work with. They are working great...today. Since I extra cash from the window purchase I was able to put that into insulation....Hmmmmm. These are all great and fun things to ponder.zboatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557911754691519815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310034922910087522.post-77496516838193818752012-01-06T17:01:46.472-08:002012-01-06T17:01:46.472-08:00Thanks for the advice.

I have a contractor friend who can get me pella, but the architect things I can do better in terms of energy efficiency. Not sure if he has something against Pellas or what!Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035570577295669294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310034922910087522.post-37312673137454004572012-01-05T18:39:41.337-08:002012-01-05T18:39:41.337-08:00You have only 3 1/2 inch of space till you reach t...You have only 3 1/2 inch of space till you reach the cold outdoors. Invest the best you can to keep the cold out, this includes the number of windows, doors, and most of all insulation.zboatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557911754691519815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310034922910087522.post-72013987118365749972012-01-05T15:18:41.994-08:002012-01-05T15:18:41.994-08:00Interesting- I hadn't heard of anyone being co...Interesting- I hadn't heard of anyone being cold in their Fencl 'till now. But yeah, there's no point in saving money if the house isn't going to be livable. I did opt for the bigger of the two Dickinson fireplaces A close friend of my family is an architect, and he also strongly recommended the spray foam route. Thanks for weighing in!Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035570577295669294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310034922910087522.post-37813057023765777942012-01-04T14:34:19.336-08:002012-01-04T14:34:19.336-08:00I would really like to know what other tiny house ...I would really like to know what other tiny house folks in VT have used for insulation. I know the folks in Seattle said they were cold in their Fencl and it was built to spec. VT is a lot colder then here so someone living in a tiny house should have some pretty strong opinions about it. Do you know any tiny house dwellers in your state?<br /><br />Here is what I did: www.sprayfoamdirect.com. I did it myself, watched the video's and followed the directions and it was pretty easy. They get on the phone with you to help figure out how much to get, they were very close on their estimate for me. I did use some filler foam boards that I already had in place and foamed over them.<br /><br />I know cost is a concern for you and this was one of my top three major expenses besides wood. It is what make this space livable, in VT it becomes more critical. I would really dig through your options before you jump. My personal opinion is that you have to do this.zboatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557911754691519815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310034922910087522.post-84904758903830629712012-01-04T08:20:54.133-08:002012-01-04T08:20:54.133-08:00Glad to hear that the spray foam is keeping you ni...Glad to hear that the spray foam is keeping you nice and warm. I'm sure it will also help with keeping pipes from freezing!<br /><br />Being that I'm in Northern VT, I'm also considering an upgrade to the insulation plans that Tumbleweed calls for (3" of rigid poly foam boards), and going for spray foam. Did you spray yourself or hire it out? What was the difference in expense?Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035570577295669294noreply@blogger.com
