The Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Living

Learn how to reinsulate an old house during CASL’s free workshop on Friday, August 14 from 12 noon-5 p.m. The workshop will be hosted at CASL’s house located on 1801 Moss Street. A professional contractor will lead the workshop, which will cover the first phase of the reinsulation process by exploring basic framing principles and explaining how to tighten up a drafty house.

In this workshop we will be doubling the thickness of the exterior walls to create a larger space for insulation. In order to do this we will be framing a secondary wall system on the inside face of the exterior walls. If you’ve never framed a house now is the time to learn!

After the workshop join us for our weekly BBQ potluck and meeting to find out more about CASL. The BBQ will be held across the alley from the CASL house at 1878 Villard Street. The BBQ starts at 6 p.m. and CASL updates begin at 7 p.m.
