All my rats are primarily pets but i breed for feeders as my snakes arent big enough to take adult rats & the petstore doesnt always have the young rats i need. i personally dont breed female rats younger then 5-6 mo. or any older then 1 1/2 yrs. i have 3.4.12 rats(3 males, 4 females & 12 babies). 1 of the males, my oldest, is just over a year old & he's sired 4 litters. He's retired & is a companion now.
A daylight basement or a walk-out basement is contained in a house situated on a slope, so that part of the floor is above ground, with a doorway to the outside. The part of the floor lower than the ground can be considered the true basement area.
Heat loss from basements accounts for a significant portion of the total space-conditioning load â upwards of 20 percent (Timusk, 1981). In many jurisdictions, basement insulation is a building code requirement and the trend to more basement insulation is expected to accelerate. Additionally, many homeowners with homes with basements finish the basement area for additional living space. When they do, they typically insulate the perimeter walls. Homes with basements often end up with basement walls that are finished and insulated. Four generic insulation approaches are possible: insulate on the inside, the outside, the middle or both sides (Figure 4).
