Crud, I dunno...I'm a self-admitted dummy when it comes to this stuff,
that's why I ask. I guess I was thinking: Hot air rises, cold air
settles, so I'll install insulation in the ceiling to keep all the warm
air from rising to the upstairs and all the cool air from settling in
the basement, thus keeping the temp of the two areas similar. Am I
flawed somewhere in my thinking.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I checked out the site and will try and implement
some of those ideas along with the insulation. I have to install the
insulation regardless of it's soundproofing abilities because it's a
basement in South Dakota, so insulation is pretty much a requirement.
Thanks again.

Why? I know it is needed in the wall, but why in the ceiling since the
basement is a livable space?
