The last third part of my working saga...
After the coldness has plunged on central Russia I was forced to stop working with concrete and had started to cover up the first floor with the heat-retaining materials to warm up the basement to have an opportunity to make some work down there. So, I collected remaining expanded clay into the plastic bags, had covered the 25% of the first floor for a start - the basement temperature has risen! After I had bought a pharmaceutical plant truck full of the sawdust bugs to use them as heat-retaining materials as well but the problem was that with the freezing temperatures the bags have freezed into the absolutely not possible to use icy mess, so it took me quite the efforts to use them anyhow and little part of them I had brought down into the basement to warm up near the furnace.
remaining expanded clay...
the sawdust bugs...
The drying of these bags had once nearly killed me - the thing was that the pharmaceutical plant is using alcohol to extract from the different flowers the necessary substances and when the bags have got warmer the alcohol has started to evaporate at my small room, so I nearly fainted but managed to get up out and ventilate the basemen, so I saved myself from alcohol death by myself!
The uncovered above first floor freezed with an ice covering its surface...
The end of my phone photos for now, though to the middle of December I had closed all the walls with boards to not let the snow in and nearly had covereed all the floor with sawdust bags, so now I have the warm basement ready to start finishing work to do there...
