Our basement is warm and dry. It’s about 1500 sq ft, and most of it is finished. It has a mother-in-law apartment and an enormous rec room, all carpeted and cozy. Oh, and spider webs here and there.
The unfinished part has a tool shop and the HVAC.
It was damp when we moved in, but we adjusted the humidity (don’t know why the previous owners never thought of that - the adjustment is right there in plain sight on the unit), sealed off the mouse-egress holes and evicted the little stinkers, and it has been quite pleasant there ever since.
I’m sorry to hear that you have a mosquito problem in your basement. We’re still trying to solve the ladybird beetle infestations every fall.
