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.
The warmer floor will discourage condensation of interior airborne vapor. In existing homes, rigid foam insulation can be installed on top of the slab, with a floated floor or a new concrete slab above it.For basement walls, exterior insulation is an effective way to control moisture and save energy.In very cold regions, it protects the foundation from the risk of freeze-thaw cycles.o prevent the diffusion of groundwater through the basement wall, plastic sheeting should be installed as a capillary break between the footings and foundation wall. In cold climates, the concrete slab should be poured over a layer of rigid foam insulation that is covered by a vapor barrier.
