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.
Sealing and Waterproofing Block. Concrete or cinder blocks are commonly used to build buildings, masonry walls and foundations. Most block masonry installations are held together with cement mortar between the blocks. This mortar is the glue that holds the whole structure together. Unfortunately mortar is also very porous, and will quickly absorb water and moisture. Efflorescence is also a big problem on block.
