  What is Thermal Conductivity? While searching the web I found many interpretation of this but, all explained it scientific terms making it so confusing.  To keep it simple I will explain it in simple terms.  Here it goes! Thermal conductivity is heat that transfers through material at a slow rate for example: When entering a room that has been closed for a while with no windows or doors open it won’t take long for the room to reach thermal equilibrium or equal temperature, meaning all surfaces are the same temperature. Let’s imagine the room is carpeted on one half and tiled on the other half.  Stepping from the carpet to the tile would seem as though the tile is colder but, they are exactly the same temperature.    It’s the heat from your feet that transfer the warmth to the cold tile floor.  If standing on the tile long enough, your feet will reach equilibrium with the tile and both will be the same temperature.  The heat from your ...

Is your home being attacked by cluster flies?  They are annoying and disgusting insects and this is the season when it all begins. Cluster flies make their debut in the autumn when they fly to the sunny sides of homes in search of protected over-wintering sites and may be found flying about inside, often in great numbers, throughout the winter. The immature stages, egg and larva, are seldom seen as the eggs are deposited on the soil and the larva or maggots burrow into earthworms on which they feed.  The adults leave their protected over-wintering sites in the spring and will lay eggs on the soil, which contains earthworms With the onset of autumn, the current crop of adults will seek protected over-wintering sites in such locations as hedge rows; under the bark of dead and dying trees; and voids in sheds, garages, barns, houses and other man-made structures.  Cluster flies will not damage your home. Occasionally, the flies may leave small dark-colored spots of excr...
