After much debate about whether to use Blueskin or tar paper on the basement wall; steel, Bluwood or ordinary studs; what kind of fasteners and how it all fits into the budget, H. started hanging tar paper and ordered a load of 2x4 studs delivered to the driveway. The basement is taking shape again! After taking out the basement board, insulation, strapping and studs, the bare walls looked forlorn, with seemingly vast work to be done. Why did we do this - tear out a perfectly usable finished basement?! Oh yeah, that energy retrofit. Spray insulation for R27 walls. New gas furnace and heat pump. I remember
now, and it's looking better already!
