Are the walls insulated adequately?
About 2 years ago I finally came to the conclusion that my kids bedroom was too cold in the winter, and poked into the wall. I found NO insulation in the cavity, none. We live in the Chicago suburbs, so winter here gets pretty cold. The next spring, after my discovery, we tore the drywall off the two outside walls (their room is on the back corner of the house), and sure enough, there wasn't anything in there at all. Took about two weeks of off-and-on work, but got the whole thing insulated. The last couple of winters have been completely different in that room.
