1) I'm getting a new oil furnace in the basement, and the installer
wants to put a brick under each corner. ?? Is this something old-
timers do? Is it a good idea?

Elevating the bottom of the furnace off the basement floor is a sound
practice. Mine sits on 4 8" high concrete blocks. It is not an "old-timer"
thing.

Mine is on 8" block, too. Not only gets it up where it is drier- it
also makes it easier to work on.
