Basement Floor Covering

You have a cement basement floor and you swear that this is the last winter that you are going to freeze your toes going down there. Besides, the heat lose is becoming a big factor. Well, you can just slap anything down, but you have to answer these questions: 1. Is it dry? If it is then you can proceed with a covering. If not you better call a basement waterproofing company. When it comes to water in the basement it's worth a service call to get some facts. 2. Is it flat? If not then find the highest point. Sometimes, you can apply a layer of concrete and smooth out the floor. If not you can do some planing. 3. Are the walls bare? If you are going to do the floor and the walls are bare you might be putting the horse before the cart. Frame your wall first using pressure-treated studs for the bottom studs. Before you insulate you can do the floor. You can frame you floor in the same manner that you frame the wall. Get styrofoam insulation that will fit between the studs. Then cover the frame and insulation with vapor seal and, finally, nail or screw down the plywood. As it is a floor, don't mess with oriented strand board (OSB). This material is not durable enough for walking. Speaking of OSB, there is a tile subflooring that features OSB as a top layer. It is a two-faced, 2-foot square tile that has a tongue-and-groove fastening system. The bottom is a plastic “waffle” which puts the board off the cement but strong enough to hold weight. The r-factor is almost that of the foam and frame. Make sure you keep the drain access open!



Rainwater Tanks

I got a couple of rainwater tanks installed to collect the water from my barn and my house roof. I've noticed a HUGE difference in the way my garden responds to rainwater as opposed to tap water. anyone else get this?
