These are inside walls, meaning the outside world isn’t on the other side, so the insulation doesn’t really matter here. I’m not gonna give a lecture about the insulation in timber frame houses (and I’m no expert) but from what I’ve read from credible sources and my own experience about old houses, all this modern insulation nonsense only brings bad things to an old house. There is a reason why these old timber frame houses are still standing and the air is pure, and why so many of the modern new buildings have problems with mold and shit like that only after a few years.

The man said I am not allowed to rip off the drywall on window wall during the winter because he’s conserned about the heating, but I pay the oil bill so it’s on me if there is a big change. The most important thing in a house like this is preventing the cold air from flowing in, but at the same time the materials need to breathe, otherwise the precious timber will rot. When there is insulation placed on the inside of the timber wall, and then what ever layers on top, it changes the location of zero point (centigrade temp) in the wintertime and that causes problems with where and how moisture is collecting.

Apparently I am indeed giving a lecture… aaaaanyways, I’ll get back to this topic when I get to those outside walls and see what’s the damage (hopefully none yet) as I’m about 90% sure there is fiberglass insulation there.

And yes I’m wearing my work boots when doing this!
