Nothing ever freezes in the basement even with the door open and inch and the window down an inch. And, the pipes run near the window and right above the door. At 9 F degrees, it still did not freeze. I am amazed. Of course, the rooms above the basement get frigid.<br /><br />Did you see the post on my blog about home made insulation?<br />Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-36328276088892021342013-01-26T09:00:50.667-04:002013-01-26T09:00:50.667-04:00thanks for the reply

I think it ran down the concrete basement steps during five days of nonstop rain, and is just sitting on the concrete floor. My door in the basement is splitting on the bottom, too. However, none of this is anything I can do myself. Thankfully, the basement does not have an entrance into the house. I am glad yours is getting fixed. Makedo insulation is smart.<br /><br />I have thought about leaving the lights on in the basement. I might just do that now. However, even though I have a work bench, I never work down there anymore.<br /><br />Are you digging the trench on the outside or inside?<br /> Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-75631452052999503982013-01-23T21:10:29.557-04:002013-01-23T21:10:29.557-04:00nothing like a dry and warm shop to work in with t...nothing like a dry and warm shop to work in with the rotten stuff replaced...<br /><br />ever considered a "barrel stove" for heating the basement shop?<br /><br />meanwhile everything looks vgery proffessional done<br /><br />WILDFLOWERAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-13063449975151423442013-01-23T17:28:31.004-04:002013-01-23T17:28:31.004-04:00Very nice work Jam !

Mine don't throw away anything remotely as nice as your door. In fact in the six months I have lived here, the best thing I have seen was a four drawer dresser made of pressed plywood and looked as if it had been submerged in water for a year!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.com
