Is it good to sleep in a unfinished basement?
Q. Ive been sleeping in my unfinished basement because I don't feel like sharing with a sibling and need my own space. My father feels I should sleep upstairs because he says its bad to sleep in the celler. Is this true?
Asked by mperron24 - Sun Nov 23 18:31:49 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's only bad if the cellar is damp. If it's been properly damp proofed, it shouldn't be a problem. But if it's not, then you could make yourself pretty ill.
