Unfortunately, if they're the only ones involved, it presents a great opportunity to increase sales of their products.Sheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799057838622646083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416426589713285085.post-88549116713497771872017-04-20T15:58:58.970-05:002017-04-20T15:58:58.970-05:00Great post.

Dare we add to this the conundrum that insulation R-values are not constant?
