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 assumed that was the problem. In the spring we opened it up, found that the vapour barrier had numerous slits in it, fixed them, re-insulated very well and felt that the problem had been solved. But with the cold weather, it is clear that nothing has changed.
We have tested the air flow into the room and out of the room and it appears to be good.
We bought a temperature probe and found that the coldest area is along the ceiling next to the outside wall (some spots 10'C/50F).
Is this a problem with insulation in that area in the atic or with wind blocking in the soffit or something altogether different. I just don't picture it being the atic insulation since the rooms on the other side of the house have a ceiling that is warmer than room temperature and the slope on both sides of the house is the same.
