Gentlemen, Start Your Excavators



July 13, 2020


I read an article on aging power grids being overtaxed by hotter summers. It made me think about how much cooler basements are than the rest of the house, and how some people are lucky enough to have finished basements. In a pinch, people could always throw some sleeping bags or cots down there on the hottest summer nights, as sleeping in the basement might be cooler than sleeping on higher levels.

Some areas aren’t suitable for building basements: they’re too swampy, or flood-prone, or built on bedrock; but other people might want to start thinking about using basements to keep cool.


Contractors, start advertising. And get those excavators fired up.
