We played around with closing some ducts and were able to bring the room up a degree or two but it wasn't enough of a difference. There is a return air vent in both rooms on the other side of the room at the floor level. There is a gap under the doors - haven't measured, but seems adequate...

YOu are right that these rooms are the furthest from the furnace. We started off not looking at the HVAC. We have a cantilever so we opened it up and reinsulated it really well. No difference to the room temperature. We had decent attic insulation, but added more and made sure the soffits...

We did bell the bottom and lifted up the sonotube to help create the footing. I would have thought it would be enough. I hadn't thought about the rebar and will include that if we do end up pulling it all out - as well as the saddle.

I have two very cold rooms in my house. This winter I purchased register blowers and they brought the temperature in the rooms up to the same as the rest of the house. Does this mean that the problem is related to HVAC? The ducts in the open basement had lots of gaps which we sealed up, so it...

2 summers ago we put in a new deck. Unwise at the time, we didn't know that we required a permit to replace a deck so no permit was used. We did use a sonotube but we put the post in the tube along with the concrete at the advice of a local lumber yard. We found out after that we should have...

The ceiling on the outside wall is over the cantilever. We only replaced the insulation in the cantilever - it was fiberglass batt and we replaced it with rigid foam and spray foamed any gaps. The attic insulation is blown insulation.

I'm really at a loss as to what to do now.. so any ideas would be great! We moved into our house last year and found that the two front bedrooms were extremely cold during the winter. We keep the doors closed which made the problem very obvious. These rooms are over a cantilever, so we...
