I recently purchased a 1906 colonial in Milwaukee, WI.
While trimming the bushes I notice insulation hanging from the bay window (below the protruding window where there is maybe 3 feet of clearance before the dirt/ ground.
It looks like that insulation used to be held in place by a thin piece of sheet plywood.
Should I replace the plywood and screw/ nail the opening closed or should I first rip out the old insulation (in case it got wet or in case there are birds in there), and then seal up the opening?
Thank you!!
