Heat in the Basement!

Not gonna lie, I am pretty impressed with my hubby for being able to do this. He always reveals to me how much I DON’T know about construction..but thanks to him I’m learning!!

Our basement was pretty chilly before as there was no air vent pumping heat into it. Calder recently got a pet snake (I know, some of you are weirded out and are no longer going to read my blog 😉 ) and he has to keep it in the basement (in a corner away from plain view..ha). The snake can’t get too cold or it will die, hence the motivation to do this project!
