Without wall studs, as in a conventional studded wall, the insulation is even more effective. A single w ill panel can be as long as 16 feet, so there are fewer air leakage gaps. This creates an airtight, dust-freand soundproof home. With the strong timber framing, no interior supporting e, walls are needed. This allows you to locate interior walls wherever ou wish and easily change room launits as your famiK grows. When utilizing solar, wood, or space heating, an open floor plan improves the distribution of heat. Another energy advantage is that the massive exposed timbers act as thermal heat storage mass (ideal for passive solar or wood heating). This thermal mass moderates temperature changes throughout the day. F.ven if urn use a standard gas or oil furnace, comfort and efficiency are improved. The timber-fram- e house manufacturer cuts (per your house plan) and delivers the timbers to your building site. Its crew assembles the framing on your foundation. Each timber joint is hand fitted by craftsmen. Once the is timber-framin- g completed, you or your contractor can attach the foam core panels to the walls insulating designed of for simplicity plumbing and running electrical wiring. Clinton doubled American aid to Ukraine on Friday, to $700 million, as a reward for its moves toward nuclear disarmament and economic reform.

Will this make the air inside my home uncomfortably dry? R.L. A Running your furnace blower continuously filters the air better. If your duct system is in good condition, this should not dry out the air. If you notice it is drier, you may have a leaky duct system. This often creates a low pressure area inside your home causing dry outdoor air to leak indoors. You can install a special, blow er motor made for this purpose. It switches to a very low speed each time the furnace burner (air conditioner in the summer) shuts off. This reduces electricity usage, noise, and drafts.

Nussbaum's ties to the Clintons go back two decades.
