50s bedroom remodeling
Hello from Texas. I am new to forum. I recently purchased a 50s home. I loved the architecture of home. However after moving in and winter start I figured we don't have insulation in the exterior walls. So my daughter's room is the first I am working on since it is small in size. To my surprise I found bottom 1/3rd of wall is cinder blocks. I assume this was done because house is on a slope and back side of room is 1/3 is below ground. However now I am not sure how can I insulate this bottom part. Top is regular framing that I can easily insulate.

Welcome to the forums.
There should be furring strips and hopefully a vapor barrier between the sheetrock/rock lathe and the block. If not you may need to add furring to the wall to add foam panels. Construction is different in every area.
A picture or two of what you're working on would be helpful..... How to insert pictures.
