The main center support beam is low, which part of the reason why I ran the ducts where I did. This way each side of the basement from the center is full height. Then each branch running towards the outside walls tucks up into the joists.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019311028063238261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868803747830219564.post-72207872263633505952009-05-29T11:49:50.983-05:002009-05-29T11:49:50.983-05:00Looking good -- I had the ductwork in my basement ...Looking good -- I had the ductwork in my basement replaced and insulated last year. I've been pretty happy so far although I wish there was a little more headroom. There's only about 7 ft floor to joist and the ducting hangs about a foot lower in certain locations since it has to run under beams and what not. My wish was to get these running as close to the joist as possible, maybe running between them in the recess. That would be my only complaint.<br /><br />Can't tell on yours, but looks like you have a bit more room so maybe not so much of a concern. I had dreams of a mancave, but all the ductwork and the location of the furnace make it a bit of a squeeze, not to mention the height of the ceiling. If I was nuts I'd dig out the basement by a foot.. Although I have enough projects to deal with without having to worry about a basement.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970754466377061517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868803747830219564.post-79323323989227126312009-05-28T23:26:10.100-05:002009-05-28T23:26:10.100-05:00I am deeply impressed.

Kudos to all your hard, personal work. I'll be very much interested to follow your progress.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887927035627481437noreply@blogger.com
