Awoke in the mornings to ice forming almost one-foot up the master bedroom wall and shock to feel a carpet as cold as snow, despite the home thermostat being set on 74 degrees. Actual ice on the surface of my bedroom wall! I wasn't sure if I should cry or scream. The air blowing in the room--from the gap between wall and floor created after the lot fell--was so cold and so strong that it was necessary to line the wall with blankets. Ice formed nevertheless.
Consort dismissed this as an issue or as a problem. In fact, their lack of surprise and horror was mind-boggling. They offered to shove a little insulation on the attic side of the wall (shouldn't insulation have already been there?), but dismissed the notion that a gap like this between floor and wall was even a problem. What about the likelihood of mold growing as a result of the ice and condensation trapped in the dry-wall? Consort was similarly disinterested. Just offered more mud for the back lot. Hmmm. What about the house that is now off-kilter? Why has compensation for our loss of value not been offered?
