Align the saw's sole plate with the appropriate mark, and you're ready to go!
- Improving your home's insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy consumption. In addition to cost savings, proper insulation will reduce the amount of pollution your home emits.
- Before installing insulation directly under your roof, be sure to install plastic baffles against the underside of the roof to allow for proper airflow.
- A reversible fan installed in the attic will bring in cool night air and expel warm daytime air. This will save energy if you have an air-conditioned house.
- Be sure to keep attic insulation at least 3 inches away form stovepipes, metal chimneys and heat-producing electrical devices.
