[papercreters] My 100 year old house.

My house was built in 1905. When I bought it I knew what I was probally
gone to discover once I was able to start ripping away walls and such.

I discovered nothing, as in there is zero insulation. Now we get some
pretty harsh winter conditions at times, -10 for a high, bitter cold
winter it was last year.

I got a little crazy with the saws-all last night and headed skywards
through the roof. There I discovered zero insulation as well. I have
started the process of slipforming my back room, and adding in fero-
adobe 5" thick in the emptiness in the walls. My single pane windows
will be replaced with thick glass blocks. (the quote on the double pane
windows was $1500 due to it's length of 114".

What to do with the ceiling insulation though? Recomendations?
