The wife's on board: wool

[logguy]

It was the wool that did it. She's got four Southdown Babydoll sheep and found on the Internet that one of the uses of their wool is for insulating between logs. GREAT!

I wonder how many sheep's worth of wool it will take to insulate a 40x40, 2 story.

i don't know how many, but i guarantee you that four sheep, int their lifetimes, won't produce enough!

[logguy]

Whoa. I certainly wasn't expecting to need THAT much.

Just a guess but I'd bet each sheep will supply the wool to do one or two logs. Even the small gaps can take a bit to fill. The big gaps eat insulation for all three meals.
