You could always add rigid insulation panels to the garage ceiling in a situation like this. However, you may be wrong about the insulation being insufficient.
After all, Yogesh has assured everyone that an Energy Star home will not need any modification in order to achieve maximum HVAC efficiency.

I don't believe the garage is your issue, our garage is typically warmer than the rest of the house

Anyone having a problem with 'stink bugs' coming in through closed windows/screens? We seem them almost every week and I'm not sure how to handle.

I have read that you can rub dryer sheets on the windows/screens to keep them away but any help would be great!

It is not fair to make fun of other member. Everyone has right to express himself, although we may not agree with Yogesh or anyone at all the times. Otherwise people will stop visiting this group. This is among the most active forums of any housing development in NJ. Let us keep it that way. No more name-calling or putting others down.

Apparently you didn't notice the little winking emoticon that I appended to my comment. That should have been a clue that I was saying this in jest.

However, to turn to the reason for my statement, after I earlier posted well-researched facts regarding the value of both basement dehumidifiers and attic exhaust fans, Yogesh informed me that I was wrong.

I was not wrong, and was only trying to pass along some information that would help homeowners to save on energy costs in the long run. He could have ignored what I said, but chose to state--incorrectly--that I was wrong.

Hi all - for those of you who have closed, how precise is the closing date estimation based on the eight weeks after sheetrock is done? I am contemplating on whether to lock the mortgage rate now or wait another two weeks in case the closing is delayed. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Hey Mame2013, our closing was delayed by one week from when they originally said we would close.. we had some back and forth delay waiting for certificate of occupancy.
We cut it very close to our mortgage lock in rate period ending so it was extremely stressful! Best of luck!

mame2013 - I would not go by that. I waited until all the kitchen, paint and carpets were done. At some point builder will lock the house in final preparation. This would be approx 3 weeks before closing. I guess keep going to your house every weekend until you see a lock on the door and sales cant arrange keys for you anymore.

It also depends how flexible is your lender. If they are accommodating than sure lock in earlier.
