Improving the isolation

Jahus Progress:
It's been a couple of days without any updates - because nothing has been done to remove the last items from the "backlog". Today, however, the "ventilation guy" stopped by and worked for an hour or two in the attic. I believe he fixed poor insulation in some of the joints and links to reduce the heat loss. 

I asked him if this was all they intended to do to fix the heat-loss problem (that causes the snow on the roof to melt an build dangerously big icicles). He answered that he thinks the manager will stop by tomorrow to add more isolation on top of the ventilation pipes. They hope that this will fix the problem. 

I have added some pictures taken a few days ago from outside the house - and some taken from the attic this evening to illustrate what was done today. One picture also shows where we measure the temperature - and an other picture shows that temperature at that moment was above +8C even if we have -3C outside (no wonder the snow on the roof melts).
