Chimney Repair Tips for Better Drafts and Ventilation
A common cause of poor drafts and smoke in fireplaces is insufficient chimney height. Chimneys must be high enough so air currents are not blocked by the roof or nearby structures. Homeowners may use summer weather to alter their chimneys.
Clever Use of Space in Home Efficiency
A careful house check shows unused space often exists in the cellar or attic. Space can be converted into a cozy den or guest room on the top floor or a basement playroom with minimal cost. Insulating board wallboard or partitions over old walls helps redeem this neglected area.
