<p>[quote user="superbe"]</p> <p>Hello Cisco,</p> <p>My only question is the your definition of a craw space. </p> <p> What you are describing is more like a basement </p> <p>Which is it ?</p> <p>Happy Railroading</p> <p>Bob </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>My space was basically in very good condition for this. Sealed floor with thick poly laid before the cement was poured...so I just had to be sure the margins were sealed again with expanding foam. <br />There were two lights and one heater in there, but as I say, I had another light circuit installed by an electrician.</p> <p>My big concerns were dust and humidity. Turns out this space was more ideal then the rest of the house in that regard. However, water pipes are visible and everywhere. But it was here or nowhere for the layout.</p> <p>But as to height, it is definitely a crawl space. When I sit, my head is just under those engineered floor joists. The average height is just 50 inches. So I move about on all fours or scoot along on my chair or mechanics crawler. Maybe I'm used to it, but it seems great. My eye-level is very good and I don't have to stand all the time to be at that eye level.</p> <p>So anyone with similar spaces, and ideas, I would encourage you. That is why I bothered to put up this long post....encouragement. That's what I get a lot from this forum.</p>
