Hi Folks,
I am doing some research for an upcoming issue of Terra Firma, and I am
trying to identify examples of any farms that are currently active and
are located within a Local Historic District. I'm not looking for any
specific type of agriculture being practiced - but I am looking for one
that is currently in active agricultural use.
If anyone knows of any that are active and are within an LHD, it would
be very much appreciated!
Thanks-

In Lincoln, the Codman Historic District includes active community
farming, animals, and a resident farmer. The Lincoln Center District
includes fields that are hayed.

Gregg,
You need to be careful regarding the type of insulation you use and the
contractor. In order to install the insulation, holes will have to be
drilled
into the walls and the insulation will be injected into the wall cavity.
Once
the insulation is injected into the wall, it will become a rigid mass. Any
pipes or wires will be locked into place and you will create problems if you
need to repair walls or pipes/wires inside the wall. You should also
determine if the insulation is a moisture barrier and how it will affect the
wood.
Blown in cellulose treated with borate's can also do the trick, but does
not become rigid after it is placed inside the wall.Celluose(usually
recycled
newsprint) is more enviremently friendly than blown insulation
(petrochemical based).In any event holes will still be drilled into the wall
for this
type of insulation. Also check into possible rebates for this project or any
other type of energy retofit.This rebate program is usually available after
an
energy audit provided by the local electric or gas provider. Please feel
free to contact me if you have any questions.

Historic House Insulation Contractors - Central MassachusettsFoam comes in 2
types - open and closed cell. The common foam for residential stud
construction is open cell, frequently icynene but we see more and more open
cell foam with a soy component these days. It is not usually injected into
wall cavities but it can be by experienced installers. If injected the
interior finish material must be braced with another material, otherwise the
foam can push it away from the wood studs. It should only be done by an
installer who has done it before, and you'll want to check with a previous
customer or 2.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Historic House Insulation Contractors -
CentralMassachusetts
I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a contractor who has
experience insulating historic houses in central Massachusetts. We are
looking for someone who has experience installing injection foam insulation
into the wall cavity through either the interior or exterior of the house.
Has anyone had any experiences with this type of insulation (good or bad)?
Thanks in advance,
