I used to think the same thing, but the
energy crisis of the 1970s led to a lot of research on how to maintain homes to
conserve energy.
Over a period of time, it was discovered that making a home substantially airtight would also trap moisture and other gases inside the living environment. Warm moisture-laden air or humid air naturally travels from the warmer areas outside the home to cooler areas inside the home, where it can condensate back into water.
Inside the living areas of our homes, we control the flow of moisture using fans, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Otherwise, a tightly sealed home could become a garden for mold spores.
We also need to control the levels of humidity in the crawl space, where water vapors can saturate the wood floor system, which then can lead to wood rot, mold growth, decay and structural damage.
Many of the crawl spaces I’ve inspected have elevated-humidity problems. To control the humidity, you open the crawl vents in the winter to allow the warm moist air to flow naturally to the cooler, drier outside environment.
In the summer, you close the vents to keep the warm moist air outside and away from the much cooler, drier air in the crawl space.
However, if you have a water line near one of the crawl-pace vents, that vent should be permanently sealed and insulated to prevent freeze damage to the water line.
Remove garden hoses from water faucets. A modern antifreeze faucet can be damaged if the hose is left in place all winter. If the faucet has an inside shut-off valve, close it until spring.
Check to see if you have a kitchen or bathroom sink with plumbing on or next to an outside wall; the pipes could freeze. To protect the water pipes, leave the cabinet doors open or let the water trickle slowly during the night.
Placing a 60-watt lamp on the floor just outside the cabinet doors also can provide enough additional heat to prevent freezing. Never place a light fixture inside the cabinet.
Insulate the water lines in the crawl space or basement. Insulation conserves hot water while you are using it and prevents condensation from forming on the cold water pipes in the summer.
Locate the main water shut-off valve and make sure it is operable. Most older valves are difficult to close and many will leak when you do turn them off. A minor repair now could save you from an expensive repair later if you are unable to turn the water off in an emergency.

Smith High School parents and staff have complained to the Guilford County Board of Education that their Greensboro school, built in 1963 and last renovated in 2001, has security problems in locker rooms, making thefts a concern.
“This is not the image that Smith High School wants to project to the public,” Donna Matthews, a curriculum specialist, told the board recently. “No student should tolerate the conditions found in these locker rooms.”
“Students deserve secure locker rooms,” said Lisa Comito,Find detailed product information for startup stone mosaic and other products. an assistant principal.Directory ofchina glass mosaic Tile Manufacturers,
There also have been complaints of mold, mildew and insects.
“There is a need to have what other high schools have,” said Arthur Fleming, an assistant principal at Smith High.
Western High School parents say the athletics fields at their school need to be handicapped-accessible and the girls softball field needs bleachers and lights. The school, built in 1968, was last renovated in 2001.
The district also could expand Western High instead of sending students to a new school, said Sheri Bergen, co-president of the Parent Teacher Student Organization.
From well-known titles to new discoveries, there's something for everyone on the Strand's Short List. Chasing Ice is the story of one man's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. In 2005, photographer James Balog conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.
January 13 features Ken Burns' The Central Park Five. In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers were arrested and charged for brutally attacking and raping a white female jogger in Central Park. News media swarmed the case, calling it "the crime of the century." But the truth about what really happened didn't become clear until after the five had spent years in prison for a crime they didn't commit. With The Central Park Five, this story of injustice finally gets the telling it deserves.
On January 20, The House I Live In brings filmgoers heart-wrenching stories from individuals at all levels of America's War on Drugs. From the dealer to the grieving mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal judge, the film offers a penetrating look inside America's longest war—a definitive portrait revealing its profound human rights implications.Find detailed product information for howo spareparts and other products.
On January 27, How to Survive A Plague chronicles an improbable group of young people who, faced with their own mortality, broke the mold as radical warriors taking on Washington and the medical establishment. This film is the story of two coalitions—ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group)—whose activism turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. With unfettered access to a trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making. This film is being co-presented with the Camden International Film Festival.
