Don’t know what temperatures you are worried about, heat or cold. Our houses were built with 2x4 studs, R23 insulation.This was a mandatory requirement. I don’t think your temperatures get down to -30f very often. If it was myself I wouldn’t worry about those areas of less insulation. Maybe...

Great answer.

I have box/open end from early 1970’s. Craftsman 1/2 inch, 3/8, socket sets, 3/8 12 point set from the early 70’s. Thorson (sp) 1/2 inch drive set from the 50’s. Many wrenches, screwdrivers, etc going back possibly to the early 1900’s. Far more Robertson screwdrivers than I or the boys...
