Default advice needed regarding type of basement/crawlspace to have done with my cottage renovation


"John Grabowski" wrote in message

I live in Ontario, Canada. The soil where the construction is taking
place is very very sandy.
Any advice or ideas would be welcome.
Thanks



*As an electrician I spend some time in crawl spaces. I would definitely
put a concrete floor in there. If you plan to use it for storage have
insulation installed below the concrete as well as a moisture barrier.
You could also have hot water radiant heat installed there. If you can,
use the Styrofoam insulated concrete forms for your crawl space walls.
Insulate the floor above.
