In that first picture David you should tell them to open up the trim strip and maybe shoot it full of Great Stuff can foam.
Bet it is just an empty cavity and that should save them a few bucks I would say.
Second pic looks like the big wall is not getting hit directly by the sun enough to make a difference

I didn't input the cosshairs on that last picture as it was not the picture that was used for reporting.

Now you guys have me going. ha. ha.

I see a higher heat on portion of the sun reflection on the clapboard, some of it is shedding on the adjacent wall.

I am seeing heatloss through the Box sill of the second floor and lacking insulation in one bay of the wall framing.
Heat loss on the window and more at the head due to possible solar gain.

Alright, how did I do?

S#ck say it, ha. ha.

Marcel

Hint, note the spotty siding.

Can someone take a wild guess as to what type of siding this is?

Dave, I was hoping to see a better picture to the right of the AC next to the chimney. What you posted could still be the same reflection.

Sorry, I don't have it.

The A/C penetration is minor compared to what is actually going on with this house.
