It's full of R-38 insulation ON TOP OF some R-13/R-19 that was there. We had to add the insulation to be able to get a gov't grant for first time home buyers. The rooms upstairs often hold heat 3 to 5 degrees warmer than downstairs.
The floors downstairs have R-19 between them and the basement.
I'll get some better pics and measurements over the weekend, but I hope that this info helps. I'd feel better with the 18,000; maybe we should just scrimp the extra $500 together for it?

Excellent and yes it helps. How serious are you about this and have you thought the total costs through. Are you thinking of the Amcor or looking elsewhere. I keep trying to see how serious you are. I spend way too much time trying to help people and they end up doing something totally different or end up cheaping out a couple dollars and unhappy. Then somehow blame me so let me know if this is just a thought or a goal because I think if you do what I propose you could save quite a bit over oil. Payback definitely. How long, can't say. Do it wrong, never, plus waste of your up front money.
