The whole home insulation does not allow the house to breathe,

works just fine like it's supposed to, made the whole place like a great big Styrofoam box,

Can't enjoy the cool summer nighttime temperatures, because the noonday heat is "trapped" inside.

Think Twice.

Any other reviews?

So you had your house insulated?
Mine was built in ‘54. No insulation. I had it insulated in the spring of ‘18. My house is so much more livable now. I can open up the windows at night and pull in cool air with fans. Then trap it all day. Even during heat waves I can sustain livable temperatures with only running a portable AC unit occasionally.
My winter heating bills are down too. The furnace kicks on less for sure. Though now when I light a fire in the wood stove I can overheat the house. Last winter I opened up the windows a couple times to vent some heat. Lol
It’s also made my house quieter. My neighbor has a wood shop in his garage. It’s never been an issue, but when my windows are closed I can no longer hear his power tools.

So not sure what your beef is with home insulation. Hollow walls suck.

My house was stick built in late 70's and we installed a heat pump/furnace along with air. The exterior walls all used 2X6 framing which let us double the insulation. Then had a bunch extra added to great room ceiling and even the garage. Got hot and was pretty air tight. W heat much of the winter with a small fireplace insert, and it really helps. Our problem is like you said, if the heat came up on bright sunny days, it was not comfortable. The heat pump/air combo helped, but it had to grind some. We replaced original windows and it has truly helped. We are all-electric, and it is better now and our utility charges went down about $35 per month on average. Point being, we thought it was an insulation trade off, but the windows were the deal maker. Pretty happy with it now.

Can't you just open some windows to let it cool off? Also I would close any drapes/blinds whenever it's hot and sunny out, it lets in the heat.

The apartment I live in has no insulation. The building, which is commercial-style with a bar & restaurant downstairs, is almost 100 years old and was renovated about 20 years ago or so. Whenever it gets windy out my apartment gets drafty inside. The windows are average to below average. Regardless, I really wish it was insulated as my gas bills are pretty pricey whenever it gets cold out.

My review is for the new Lion King movie:

The more realistic animals made the movie much worse. It was better as a regular cartoon. Also, Donald Glover and Beyonce were terrible.
Posted By: Dawgs4Life Re: Reviews, - 08/17/19 09:15 AM
I haven’t seen the movie, but a lot of my friends did NOT like the new version. It’s tough to recreate a classic like that when everyone has seen it and it’s so nostalgiac
Posted By: PortlandDawg Re: Reviews, - 08/17/19 01:12 PM
What if I hated the original? Would I like the new version? Cuz I hated the original.

No truth to the rumor that if you do pull the finger, even in a spirit of misguided hospitality, you will get billed for a fumigation. Your call.

Our house is a very, very nice house. thumbsup

That's the whole point,
Before the insulation you could, it was optimal, didn't know what ya had till it was gone,

After the insulation, it doesn't work anymore, the only real benefit are the couple weeks in January, it seems like 3/4 of the year, it was better before.

Just if I can help anyone not make that mistake, just think twice, if that's what you really want.

Really the point was to have others review any other product, in a similar way, to help us not make a mistake. (And of course, to complain)

I haven't seen either Lion King movie, but I did grow to hate that/those stupid songs 20 years ago.
Should I see only the original.

Cool shield insulation (ALUMINUN BUBBLE) in a ceiling is fantastic! Have it in a cabin and it reflects sun away in summer and reflects heats back in in winter.

I ate a Korean BBQ place in West Covina. It was delicious.

The Yugo.

They were horrible!

I got a water cooler at my house. It keeps the water very cool and even heats up water to the point I can use it for tea. Also, the water is filtered very well. I would recommend getting one.
