For the last several days, I've been living with the heat and humidity of the upper Midwest. Daytime highs have gone as high as the low 90s with stiffling humidity. Fortunately, the cabin has remained quite tolerable.
Lots of people thought I was a little off the wall for super insulating the cabin while I finished it's construction. I put R 64 in the ceiling and R44 in the walls even though R48 and R19 were recommended respectively. It cost a little more to do this, but it'll pay off in the long run.
The pay off is not only in cooling costs, but obviously, in heating. Because the cabin is super insulated it helps to hold both the heat in as well as the cool.
