2012年11月2日 · I was in the basement tonight and noticed that the lower half of the walls are turning pink in areas. It's a sandstone foundation with some sort of basement walls turning pink (floor, foundation, drains, color) - House -remodeling, decorating, construction, energy use, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, building, rooms - City-Data Forum

2014年10月15日 · I have a bunch of stuff in cardboard boxes [banker’s boxes] that I want to store in a basement whose floor might get wet during winter. To avoid floor contact, I want to elevate the boxes a few inches off the floor. Looks like the best solution is to set the boxes on parallel boards [easier+cheaper than pallets]. I naively thought this was a …

2003年3月16日 · The house I grew up in had an incinerator in the basement, as did many of the houses in my neighborhood. This was in Ohio and most of the houses in my neighborhood were built in the 1920s. Since then, I’ve never encountered any homes with basement incinerators. I’m not even sure if they are installed in new homes. Does anyone know anything about this? Are they even legal to have and to use?

2022年12月30日 · In Home Alone, a minor plot point involves Kevin overcoming his phobia of a fearsome-looking furnace in the basement of McCallister family home: The furnace resembles an old-style coal-fired gravity furnace in that it has a front grate and cluster of ducts coming out the top. The movie furnace doesn’t seem to contain coal, but rather has something resembling a radiator and piping inside. OK ...

2022年4月16日 · A recent article detailed a house sold near Washington D.C. that came with a squatter in the basement. Indeed, the seller was clear that there was a squatter in the basement and it would be up to the buyer to deal with that. The seller is apparently a frail, older man whose family said they did not have the money to deal with evicting a squatter. Apparently the squatter was a cleaning lady who ...

2006年10月12日 · grasshopper-looking bugs in the basement are usually identified to be Cave Crickets/Camel Crickets. Apparently they can be controlled by the introduction of House Centipedes, but for some reason many people do not find this a desirable solution. That is what we have, a shop vacuum and a strong flashlight is the best method of hunting them.

2008年9月19日 · E.No basement space shall be used as a habitable room or dwelling unit unless, in addition to the other provisions of this chapter and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code: (1)The floors and walls are impervious to leakage of underground and surface runoff water and insulated dampness; and (2)The minimum aggregate glass ...

2008年11月8日 · Assuming that a) I own my house b) I don’t hit any water, sewage, or power lines and c) digging under my house won’t affect the structural integrity of my house or its foundation, how far down can I dig, from a legal perspective? Can I build a five story house under my own two story home? I am imagining something like… digging a stairwell out in my basement floor, and then digging out ...

2009年10月14日 · I have heard it as “fold” in the basement, but I think it’s a HOLE in the basement. If so, I think it’s a Silence of the Lambs reference, but “Buffalo Bill” wouldn’t fit into the “lyrical rappery”. On the other hand, if it is fold, it might be a folding bed…she IS taking off her clothes, right? BTW: “Lyrical rappery” is ...

2020年8月13日 · The same if you don’t use your basement that much. If you go down there to wash clothes once a week, you’re gonna notice the stuff has been moved because you didn’t move it. Whereas if you are upstairs in your living space and you put a magazine down and you come back 15 minutes later and it’s moved, you really aren’t gonna think ...
