Скачать или смотреть Neighbors Laughed When She Built a Wall Inside a Wall — Until It Hit 52°F Inside at −40°F

In October of 1903, a widow named Marta Holovka was doing something
no one in Broken Creek, Montana had ever seen — nailing a second wall
inside her first one, leaving a four-inch gap of nothing between them.

Her neighbors laughed. Her bank was ready to take her land.
And the worst blizzard in a generation was weeks away.

When the storm hit — 43 below zero, 50 mph winds, three days straight —
Marta's cabin held at 52°F inside. Her neighbor burned through a cord
and a half of wood and still dropped to 22°F. Old Bjorn Nordstrom
frostbit two fingers just reaching his woodpile.

This is the story of dead air, thermal mass, and knowledge carried
across an ocean in the back of a Bible — and why the men who laughed
spent the next summer asking Marta to teach them how she built it.

What you'll learn:
→ Why dead, sealed air insulates better than solid wood
→ How conduction, convection, and radiation steal heat from your home
→ The difference between insulation and thermal mass — and why you need both
→ How a $3.80 cast-iron stove heated a cabin through a 3-day blizzard

This story is based on the real building techniques of 1900s homesteaders
and the physics of heat transfer that modern building codes are still
catching up to.
