Where is all the hot air going?

We bought a very old house, which naturally need some updates.  Where to start?  With an energy audit of course.  Oregon Energy Works is a program to help homeowners figure out how to make their homes more energy efficient.  They came to visit on a lazy saturday and climbed all through the house.
 Then set up a fan, turned off the heat and showed me where all that cold air is coming from.


 Cool new devise to show drafts.
 Lots of air coming from the attic...
 and this storage in the unheated closet above the vast open space that is our deck.  It is FREEZING in the closet right now!
The Handy Man was not amused as the audit fell on the same day as the Broncos game.  The house got very cold for a while there. and it didn't help that the game didn't end well.  More info when we get the report.
