I finally got around to making windows for my basement (been thinking
of it for a long time, just never go to it) from 2x4 cut down to 2x2
and a simple single pane of acrylic plastic set in. Made a huge
difference, suddenly the basement is not drafty, it's dead quite down
there, and it stays at 65F all the time, even when it's 15 outside.
I also put fiberglass insulation around the band board, which had not
been done. Very much warmer all of a sudden, wish I'd done this 40
years ago when I first thought of it.
Should reduce the heat bill quite a bit.
I'm also going to get chimney top dampers this year and see if that
helps, too.
