Ok guys...I got sick and tire of having to put my heat up just to keep up with the sub-below tempartures trying to reach the basement...so, since I have three ceramic heaters, I took the laundry out of the metal basket(under the stairs)and put the heater in it and plugged it up to an outlet in the storage compartment. Now the basement stays about 65 with the heater on low and my furnace is back to normal (i was burning up) and now I'm a happy camper. I should have done that weeks ago! By the way, if your tempartures are way below zero (like 15-20 below or more) like it has been here you probably still only have to turn the basement space heater on just over night to early morning. After that the temps down there should stay below freezing even with your furnace on say 60-65degrees. Also, with the heater in the laundry basket it doesn't get close to storage items and is isolated. The temparture here should be in the low teens next week up to a high in the 20s...yeeee!!!!!!!!
