Re: new basement construction

[Guest guest]

The last time I did anything similar to this, we used wire and mortar as the

base, because we planned to tile over it. I did the same with a kitchen floor,

and it worked well and will be there long after we're all gone, but it's

labor-intensive like crazy, and you_don't_ want to have to remove any excess

material once it's dry. So that's one way.

If I'm understanding you correctly. Is the main issue to avoid using drywall,

avoid the glue? Or both?

Maybe somebody else has an easier way? (It's late and I'm sleepy.)

There is no such thing as an anomaly. Recheck your original premise.

There is a lot of good information on materials and structures

ranging from basic, technical to expert at:

www.advancedenergy.org

For example, one of my clients recently created his own conditioned-

air ventilation system for his crawlspace by going to the first site.
