I have been busy with many projects and have neglected updating this blog. That will change in the next few weeks as I go through and get all of my blogs up to date and keep on schedule.

My next green project will be sealing the basement better. I have a few reasons for doing this- better insulation and to reduce the radon levels a bit. I am just over the limits by some standards and there are significant openings into the block wall for the radon to enter the basement. I think with a little sealing, caulking, foaming, and tightening up I will be well below the safe levels.

I never insulated the basement because I did not spend much time down there. Now that I have my shop set up there making it more comfortable is important and better for finishing projects. I am also clearing out stuff I do not use anymore- I think a spring sale will be in order when I go through things.

I am also considering building a root cellar this spring that I will blog about and put on my home improvement site. 2012 will be a very interesting year so I hope you return soon to see what I am doing in a green manner.
