   Hi, Paul. Your friend's situation is very analogous to one i have. I'm reassured  after a lot of reading and talking to folks to rent a blower and blow cels in the enclosed bays, without a vapor barrier. Go to the HVAC folder and find "To VB or Not to VB" in the thread list--should be quite helpful. 

   The number is 980.1, if that helps. (Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to link to it???)

   I went to the Show Discussion frame and click on the Engery, Heating and Insulation folder. That opens it up to a show all mode for that folder. Then I scrolled down and found the thread.

   Right clicked on it (with Netscape) and copied link. Then just pasted the link here and it shows automatically;

   Bill, thanks very much; that should have been obvious to me, right?  I guess after two weeks of Prospero i'd just come to expect a complicated solution involving the advanced search page, three log-in attempts, and an email to sysops.

   Paul,

   If he's still concerned, one possibility is repainting inside{still a lot of work, but no ripping apart walls} with one of the vapor barrier paints that are available. This puts a vapor barrier right at the warmest part of the wall.

   Thanks for the replies.  First time using the site, though I've been reading the excerpts in the magazine for awhile.
