Better Out The Attic Than The Basement

Anything that s safe to store in these rooms should still be put away in a plastic.

Better out the attic than the basement.

Whether a birds or moths in the attic a raccoon in the garage or mice in the basement critters aren t concerned with taking care of your belongings as a general rule of thumb nothing in your attic garage or basement should be left out in the open. Put that thing back where it came from or so help me. One major drawback of attics is ceiling height or lack thereof. Loose fill or batt insulation is typically installed in an attic.

While basement renovations tend to be more common attics should not be overlooked. To find out if you have enough attic insulation measure the thickness of the insulation. Second a finished attic is better insulated than an unfinished one. If you re in the market for a new home consider the limitations of the attic carefully but don t completely rule it out.

A finished attic is a great place for another living room a play room for kids or another unique bedroom with a great view. I looked out the window and noticed that my aunt had finished gardening and was now walking back to the house. After walking around and looking at some of the old stuff in the attic including some old books that caught his eye my younger self left the attic to venture back to the basement and shut the door behind him.
