HELP!!!!!

Please, I need an answer!

On Jan.13, 2001 a new insulation being sold at Menards was discussed.

It is 1/4 " thick and has an R-value of 14.

Would someone tell me the exact name of this product. It was called Reflectix or Reflectrix.

When I went to the Reflectix website, I got a company which produced reflective material but no insulation.

I live in NJ and there is no Menards near me. I really need this insulation to finish my attic. Home Depot didn't know what I was talking about.

Thanks so much for your help.

I don't know if Reflectix has a web site. It is manufactured in Ohio. The next time I am at Menards I will get their address for you. If you like, I can get it and send it to you. Big blizzard here today, and I am missing the free Menards Contractors breakfast.

Thanks, Jack

Dear Jack,

Thanks so much for your reply about reflectix insulation.

I would be very grateful if you would send me a sample of this product.

If it can be arranged for you to ship me the amount of insulation I need, it would be wonderful!

I would need to know the cost, the size of a batt, etc. Then I would be able to place a full order.

You're a life-saver!

Thanks again,

Donna R.

Basements, Attics and Crawl Spaces
leaky basement

on Jan 25, 2001

I have decided to begin the adventure of renovated my unfinished basement. My basement seems to leak around the base on 2 walls. Luckily due to the slope of the basement it seems to normally drain along the one wall and directly into my sump pump. However, I would like to utilize this space and stop the leaking all together (and get rid of that msuty smell). I've been told to paint the walls with drilock (sorry about the spelling) caulk around the bottoms. I however have no idea what type of products to use or if this is even a valid solution. Its become a personal mission to do this work myself, so any advice or hints would be greatly appreciated.
