Thanks for that Mark.

I'm wondering if this thread is wandering into the realm of the arcane and  
is of limited interest to the point where people's eyes glaze over and  
then skip over the postings ?

We couldn't spark up any interest in moisture monitoring so I can't help  
but wonder about people's reactions to this topic.

But at the risk of creating a snooze-fest

For most (all ?) homeowners, I have to wonder why they would care about  
infiltration rates over any length of time ?

Once the blower door test is done, the leak points are identified (and an  
equivalent leakage area number provided) and the leaks are either sealed  
or not sealed. And that (ie the sealing of the leaks) is what it's (blower  
door testing) all about. Isn't it ?

There. Lot's of question marks this time.
