The Construction Guys Found Something Odd.

@DaddyEvil ........Oh, dear. Maybe so.

It made me wonder if they were training a newbie and they started adding insulation in the closets first since the spaces were smaller... When my brother was teaching me how to add wiring into a new house, I screwed it up and my brother teased me about it for months...

@porwest It was really annoying when she'd hide from Pretty... Pretty was sure I was going crazy... She'd wait until Pretty was out of her room and sit at her desk. Once I asked who was sitting at her desk and that's when the ghost disappeared... The ghost also watches me working in the kitchen. She stands in the corner by the hot water heater door... I keep telling her she could help out... She just fades away.

True... And the insulation doesn't explain the ghost that sits on the side of my bed watching me until I wake up.

@DaddyEvil That has to be...disconcerting. lol. We have a "ghost" here we call Annabelle. I am not sure it's really a ghost, but sometimes there are strange things we can't necessarily explain.

@DaddyEvil I hope there is no asbestos in the insulation. I am sure they were using it at that time.

Yeah, back in the 1940s, I don't think there were any regulations about how a house was built.

@snowy22315 I have no idea. I didn't see it. I'm sure the construction guys would have recognized asbestos if that's what it was and called in a hazmat crew to remove it.

@DaddyEvil She may be pooping and peeing there..

@vandana7 If it's ghost poop and pee, there's nothing there.

When she can just disappear, she doesn't need a place to hide.

@DaddyEvil - If the wall gets really warm, I doubt there is insulation in that wall.

@LadyDuck I know I'm having to leave my bedroom door open to let some of the cooler air from the rest of the house into my bedroom at night. Otherwise, it gets too warm in here and I'm not comfortable. (Pretty freezes if I turn the air on at night but I'm always too warm.)

I really wish I knew what that happened. The construction guys think the front wall of my bedroom might have insulation in it, too. I don't think it does, though. When the sun is setting, that wall gets really warm in my room.

True... And, as someone else said, at least they didn't find skeletons in the walls.

@JudyEv At least they aren't digging under the house or garage floor. Not that there's any reason they couldn't do that, of course...

@DaddyEvil Yes, skeletons would be worse.

@DaddyEvil I wonder if some insulation got into the fan works? I see about the siding. Of course they told us that any cosmetic repairs, like patching those holes would be on us. But we did not need it.

@GardenGerty Yes, I think they weren't careful enough blowing the insulation around the new fan. They patched and covered the holes they made inside the house on the walls.

Yes, they do... Sometimes without any valid reasons, too.

I haven't seen any goat-footed boys here.

Nope... The construction here is solid. Whoever built the house probably tried to save money by not putting in insulation when it wasn't a regulation back in the 1940s. My fish tank puts out more damp into the house than we get except for opening doors or windows.

I wondered if a new person started installing insulation in those closets because they were smaller spaces and was then told they weren't putting in insulation after all...

I wonder if that was an outside wall at one time and one of the rooms was added later? I've seen that happen before... In the house I grew up in, mom bought it from her parents. They had a family of four. Dad added three more rooms to the house, just adding to one side of the house. The original outside wall had insulation in it. Dad didn't strip that out when he added the new rooms. Those rooms never got the heat from the wood burning stove in the living room... We just piled more blankets on our beds if we got cold.

@DaddyEvil The woman's house was a make shift shack so I bet that middle wall used to be the outer wall.

@sallypup More than likely...

No, we can't be sure... I didn't want them tearing out insulation that they'd have to replace.

I know! It makes me wonder what they were planning to store in the closets.

@DaddyEvil Keep your imagination rolling

Normal insulation that is added when a house here is built is long rolls of fiberfill that goes between wooden joists to help insulate a house from the cold of winter and the heat of summer and makes the house easier to heat and cool... Blown-in insulation is fiberfill that is blown between the joists to help insulate from summer heat and winter cold. I'm sure houses there get some type of insulation to help with summer heat. Unless your house is built of bricks in which case, the bricks themselves do the insulation for you.

Thanks... They did a good job matching the paint. I could feel the difference last night after Pretty shut down the A/C. (She gets cold at night faster than I do...) The living room and kitchen were holding the cooler temps long after my bedroom got too warm to be comfortable for me. I opened my bedroom door to let in the cooler temp from the rest of the house.

This house was built in the 1940s so there were no regulations about how it had to be built.

Since the house was built in the 1940s, there's no way to find an answer now.
