My husband got hurt on a machine at his job and it cut his hand up pretty badThe doctor cleaned it but not good enough and there is still a small peice of aluminum in his handI need to know if it's fine where it is or if it is dangerous to his health and needs to come outThe aluminum was treated with chemicals before it cut him.
There are a couple of issues hereThe basement is cold cooling the upstairsThe basement is also warmed by the upstairs to prevent things like water lines from freezingIf you insulate well enough, the basement will get colder and may freeze the pipes, not goodIf you can insulate without danger of freezing things then buy at least 6 batts of insulation, no vapor barrier, with the wires that will hold the insulation up in the joistsThis is pretty easyMake sure the width of the insulation fills the opening between the joistsYou will notice a big differenceIf water pipes are in the joists make sure that you keep them in the insulation to keep them moderately warmYou might even put a foam insulation around them that comes in 3 or 4 foot lengthsUse 1 thick foam The first inch of insulation is the most cost effectiveBiggest bang for the buckSome folks might even advocate putting insulation over the joists so that they are not exposed to the airWood is a good conductor comparitivelyI would only do as much as the joists will hold.
Well, from what I understand (my hubby's a welder) yes, it should be taken outThe dr probably feels an abcess will form and the thing will work its way out, but I believe it can make you sickI would definitley get rid of itWelding aluminum can make you sick, too.
Sorry i can't be more helpfulGood luck with solving this issueI so know what you mean.
fiberglass is the way to go 4 thick will do the jobMake sure you wear safety glasses and a reperator, long sleves and long pants when you do the work,
while you're putting the insulation into floor joists, you are able to bypass a R19, R25 or maybe R30the better the selection, the thicker and extra useful the insulation isyet in a floor, R13 could be fantastici like to apply convenience Thermit rather is a plastic encapsulated insulationIt seems extra useful if your basement is unfinished and that i've got faith the plastic provides somewhat extra desirable protectionIt costs in elementary terms a greenback or 2 extra a equipment regardless of the undeniable fact that it rather is rather worth it
