Bgit frequently the prob- lem remains of providing the re- commended conditions for proper storage. This is especially true in the average household basement. Too often the temperature is much too high and the conditions gener- ally much too dry. To provide the proper storage conditions it is often necessary to build a special insulated and venti- lated storage room in one corner of the basement. Insulation of the walls and ceiling of this room is necessary for the proper control of temperature. In planning the location it is best to include a base- ment window. If one of the panes of glass is removed, the opening can be used an an outlet ventila- tor. A sheet of plywood in which is cut a four -inch square opening can be used to replace the window pane. This should be provided with a slide control on the inside. An ideal location for the intake ventilator is at basement floor level. This involves cutting a hole through the basement wall. The intake shaft should lead down the outside of the basement wall and enter the storage room at floor level. This type of intake insures that the air entering the totitn riII be cooled by passing through sev- eral feet of soil before entering the room. It is not always possible to provide this type of intake. A less satisfactory, but nevertheless ser, viceable intake, can be provided by making use ut an additional pane of the basement window. In this case the shaft should enter the basement window and then turn downwards at 90 degrees and be extended almost to floor level. It is essential that this shaft, which is wholly within the storage room', should be insulated if it is to func- tion properly as an intake. Insula- tion can be provided by boxing the shaft in with three-quarters inch insulation board. Here again a slide control is necessary at the bottom of the shaft. In addition to the insulation of both the walls and ceiling of the storage room, better results will be attained if an insulated door is used. This can be made by using two sheets of five -sixteenths inch plywood nailed to a frame. Insula- tion batts can be used to insulate the door. Another method of mak- ing the door is to nail three-quar- ters inch insulation board to a one- half or three-quarters inch plywood panel. The necessary storage bins and shelves can be built around the walls.
