Windows... let's see. I'm going to categorize since they vary.
"Classic" double-hung (uninsulated sash pocket, no weatherstripping): 12.
"Upgraded" double-hung (1" foam in the sash pocket, nylon pile weatherstripping): 5
1 vinyl slider, 1 vinyl awning, 5 modern casements, 6 modern double-hungs.
It's a very window-ful house. I love the light, but it does make it hard to find room for bookshelves
All of the classic/upgraded have metal-framed storms in good shape. The rest don't, but are double-glazed at least. We've primarily been replacing the casements which _were_ wind tunnels; I expect to put in modern double-hungs only where the wood frames are really rotted out.
Oh, and heavy curtains, but hey.
WRT the foundation, there is actually no exposed uninsulated foundation. There's 5' of buried concrete wall (well, 6" or so showing) and then stud wall on top of that; the stud wall is insulated.
So. I just talked with the heating guy and he's happy going to a 60K boiler; but it's clear that he has no interest in running a manual-J and I'd like the insurance. Anyone want to run one for me? I assume this is something where I can do the measurements and so on?
