Hi Everyone,
Please bear with the Newbie, but I am looking forward to this forum for many discussions to follow.
I am a new homeowner, and have a full unfinished basement. For conserving energy (my assumption), the builder has put fiber glass insulation on the basement ceiling, which of course keeps my hardwood floors pretty warm on the first floor. The basement instead is always freezing, not an issue.
I want to use the basement to put some exercise equipment in, and small work space in the corner...however have no desire to breath the dust from the insulation.
I have read through the forums, and people recommend putting a drop down ceiling, but at this point, I am trying to keep my cost to a minimum...buying the new house killed the savings Plus I will probably try to get the basement finished the next year, so for now, need a low cost way to preventing the dust ending up in my lungs. Blogs/forums are saying Tyvec or plastic or some even say cloth sheets. The basement is HUGE...so looking for something cost effective, that I can just staple down.
Any thoughts welcome!!
