SJ,

Did some of that here yesterday.  I'd finished the outside part of the  
the Severe Weather Dog Door and put extra fiberglass insulation behind  
the piece of drywall at that point. The wind was characteristically  
"up" here yesterday and revealed that a lot of the wall is going to  
need better insulation sooner or later.  I did stuff a couple feet of  
drywall crack but it showed me there's a lot of wind-accessible spaces  
behind that wall.  (This is in the unheated garage where the dogs and  
cats get to through their new door.)

By the way, we've heard of a NY State grant program for education in  
alternative energy.  Does anyone have any further information about  
that?
