Default Cracks in basement block walls

Can I ducktape over the cracks for a few months? It's freezing down
here,
I dunno, but taping ducks to it might be pretty messy (grin).


Not near as messy as installing a kaa-newt valve in a duck.

Essentially, it allows air out and prevents water from entering, after
the bird has landed on the lake.


A duck sized butt-plug? Expect you'd need a block both ways since he wants
to leave the duck taped there til it's warm. Humm, I vote to use something
other than a duck to jam in the cracks as exploding duck might be pretty
nasty.


Yes!. Be patient, Spring is here soon. A little paper or foam stuffed
into a severe crack will reduce leakage - maybe!

No expense for the ducks.
