Historic homes and camellias

Thomson's older homes, some with deep porches and tall windows, were built for airflow rather than insulation. Many sit on piers or crawl spaces, and their attics often have only a few inches of old fill. Sealing the attic floor, adding loose fill and treating the space under the floor make them noticeably more comfortable without changing their character. Work in the attic and under the house is invisible from the street, which suits owners who want to keep the look of an older home.
