Being monkfish is a firm fish it will hold up on the grill very well. Over a medium-high heat on the grill cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side and let stand for about five minutes before serving. Unlike tuna where you cook it rare, you want the monkfish to be done. Look for an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Insulating basement walls in cold climates is a great way to keep your home warmer and drier. However, special care should be used when insulating concrete (or block masonry) basement walls. Below grade concrete foundation walls are very col and damp. If you were to insulate the walls with regular fiberglass batt insulation it is very likely that a mold problem would develop.

There is fiberglass insulation in the ceiling of the basement (in other words, below the ground floor) between the joists (?) that hold up that floor. Earlier this summer because of a little carpenter ant infestation (the exterminator said it was the biggest nest he had ever seen) I had to tear some of the insulation down.
