Winters here are freakishly cold. For example last winter I started wearing long johns in November and didn't quit until well into March. So when someone decided that it would be a god idea to add some extra insulation to the buildings in my apartment complex I was pretty excited, now if I can just figure out how to get my windows to line up and close properly I should be quite toasty this winter.
Here's a look at the whole process
Step 1. Have truck loads of blue styrofoam delivered
Step 2. Use cement to "glue" the styrofoam to the building
Step 3. Drill the "glued" styrofoam to the building
Step 4. Cover styrofoam with a layer of cement
Step 5. Cover whole building with two layers of plaster
Step 6. Paint building with the brightest colors you can find (it was pretty cloudy the day i took this picture so it doesn't really do the colors justice, think bright tropical island blue and salmon)
Note about construction process: Even though you may live on the fourth floor don't be alarmed if you one day hear someone pounding on your kitchen window. It's probably just the workers wanting to ask if they can climb through your window and use your bathroom.
