Q. My house is always drafty, and a pipe froze and my whole kitchen was flooded. The plumber fixed the pipe but said the insulation wasn’t done right and the pipe could freeze again.

So there I was, shimmying into a corner of my attic to stuff insulation into a narrow crevice that hadn’t seen the light of day in 60 years.

Q. We have a turn-of the-(last)-century front-porch colonial. It needs substantial modernization, and I've found that problems that seem unrelated in fact do contribute to one another, leading to bigger costs than expected. For example, we need new wiring. I've seen knob-and-tube in parts. What’s the best way to rewire, since we need new insulation, there’s some termite damage and the steam boiler needs an overhaul?
