With snow on the roofs of buildings and no sunshine, now is a very good time to see how well insulated your house is. Just go outside and have a
look. You might also notice that snow on the ground close to buildings has melted. Even well insulated buildings leak heat at ground level (our house too) unless the insulation carries on down into the ground. Apparently 1 metre deep is recommended.
Thanks to Oz for this.

Tree officer arrived to look again at silver maple in George St Park B12. Agreed to 'reduce' tree rather than felling. Also very courteous. [greeninbrum]

Tree officer said (apparently) that he would come in 24 hrs to take another look. Hopefully he will speak to residents this time. [greeninbrum]
