I found a culprit of the coldest room in my house. I found it was a closet that may not have insulation behind it. I wanted to know if it was something that I could line the walls in the closet with to stop this. I just need to bandaid it until there is some good weather where I can remove the drywall and put good insulation inside the back wall of the closet. Please help.

 

You don't need to remove the dry-wall to insulate.
You can hire a pro to come in and install Blown-in Insulation.
It is applied or blown-in via a hose and fills the gap between the wall studs.

 

Get some Rigid foam insulation 2" thick. Couple layers?

 

Or just rent the machine from Lowes. It's very easy to do. The only issue is you'll have to cut holes every 16" to fill the sections between the studs and then fill the holes back up.

My suggestion,

1 - Go buy a circle cutting tool from Lowes or the Depot to cut nice round circles
2 - Draw a pencil mark across both the wall and the piece you cut (so you'll remember where it lines up)
2 - Save the piece you cut
3 - Steal/borrow a bunch of paint stirrers from the paint department
4 - Buy some Liquid Nails and put a nice glob on each end of the paint stirrer
5 - Slide it in the hole and pull it up against the drywall, creating a brace across the hole
6 - Put a thin layer of Liquid Nails on the piece you cut out with the hole cutter
7 - Pop it back into place, lining up the mark you made in step 2
8 - Dril a small pilot hole through both the drywall and the paint stirrer
9 - Sink a 1" drywall screw through the drywall and the paint stirrer
10 - Tape the opening and finish

Don't pay someone, you're gonna get raped if all they have to do is one closet.

 

fill the closet up with your clothes and blankets... that'll do it :P

 

Where the hell were you 3 months ago.

 

those are a good temp solution. i have heard that the material breaks down and creates a lot of dust. i know it is behind the wall, it will also settle after time. i ahve thought about it, the reg insulation seems like a better fix

 

th eplace we rent is not insulated at all. in the living room the floor trim gives off a lot of cold air. so i have the couch up against the wall to absorb most of the air

 

Low-dust cellulose for blown installation is available. This material produces virtually no visible dust during pneumatic installation, resulting in a much cleaner job and more pleasant working conditions for installers.

The entire matter of settling has been the subject of misconception. The settling characteristics of cellulose are one of its greatest strengths. Because the fine cellulose fibers settle after they are installed that the material it is extremely effective in preventing air infiltration. Other fiber insulation with lighter fibers and a more open structure does not settle into cracks and gaps in the structure as cellulose does. Predictable settling is a favorable cellulose characteristic. This is very true of traditional fiberglass bats.

 

So how long does it take to settle? A few days or a few years??

 

good news. i guess i am used to the old stuff that makes you wanna
