| Feb 17 at 3:16 | comment | added | Mazura | Need to drywall the ceiling. And put HVAC supply ducts. If it's a radiant system, then it needs radiators. - "heat pump water heater that's the reason why it's really cold in there rather than "it's a little cool so put on a heavy shirt or jacket." The heat pump water heater is actively removing heat from your basement -- and if you're successful at insulating its walls well, the basement may actually get colder due to less make-up heat coming from the ground via the foundation walls." - Answer as asked, is do everything else that's not pictured. | |
| Feb 17 at 3:11 | comment | added | Mazura | "I was just going to put rigid polyiso directly on the foundation walls, put some furring strips on them and attach drywall to that. - There isn't really a utility room per se... All these fixtures are in the room I'm using as my workshop. I suppose I could block off the well pump and electrical panel, but I don't think it would help much. - The water heater is a heat pump water heater, so it needs good airflow to function properly. I'm also trying to minimize how much space I lose to this project." | |
