Benefits of Exterior Foam Insulation
I’ve been a huge proponent of using foam board insulation to insulate basements, rim joists, and difficult locations like under bay windows.
Installing foam insulation board on the outside of houses can increased R value, decreased air infiltration, and provides better overall vapor management.

In today’s marketplace, more workboots are available than ever before. The sheer number of choices can be overwhelming. In this article we’ll give you some helpful tips and advice to help you narrow down the field when choosing a workboot.
There’s no doubt that you’ve heard of Timberland, especially if you’re from New England. They set the standard 40+ years ago that made the brand synonymous with rugged boots and shoes. In 1999 they launched Timberland PRO, a line of great-looking, durable, safety work boots for the professional tradesmen. And, most recently, in August they introduced a line of industrial workwear. The Tool Box Buzz team has
been testing some of these products, and today we’re going to share our findings with you.
In addition, we've teamed up with Timberland to offer an exclusive giveaway on our Facebook page so after you check out the article, be sure to enter the giveaway here.
