DIY & Home Improvement

Only time will tell on the packing part. Its very well possible that they contractor that did ours years ago didn't know to use pressure to pack it down.

I seal the house on the inside surface when I paint the walls so there isn't any air that comes in other than through the windows, old ones, not new ones, (I hope) and in the door as we go in and out. My stepson worked for a painter for a while and he taught me the finer points of using masking tape and latex caulk for a professional look and result. Now that I've got the house wrap on the outside I can tell less air is getting in to the cavities where the insulation is because the walls feel warmer now.
