Question from Annette Tweedel
Hi Debra, We live in an old wooden house in Louisiana and because there is about a foot or so between the bottom of our house and the ground our landlord puts some kind of wood or plywood that affects me. Actually we call it wrapping or insulating the house for the winter. Its to protect the pipes from freezing during the winter. We used to put tin around the house but our landlords don’t want that anymore. They don’t want, I guess, big holes in the wood outside the house. I read the information in your book, something about insulation made from aluminum foil, but I don’t know if it would apply to this also. I actually thought I saw someone’s house wrapped with something like that. Could you recommend something for us to put around the outside of the house that is safe and nontoxic?Thanks.
Debra’s Answer
I’m not familiar with this practice. Readers, what is your experience with this?
