[Jacob-list] Wool Insulation website

[Linda]

We used wool to insulate a portion of our water pipes. It worked great 
until last week when the pipes froze. It turns out that some cold 
rodents wiggled in and carried off the wool for their nests. I can see a 
little wool in some of the squirrel nests, but imagine there are some 
very cozy mice around, too.
I remember someone on this list talking about older houses in her area 
(Ohio)having wool insulation. Eventually the moths would get into the wool.
It certainly sounds alot healthier than the usual insulation materials.
