crawl space vent wood rot. how to replace?
I have 6 crawl space vents. Wood surround with grates. All are in good condition except this one, which has decent wood rot as shown. How would I go about replacing? Would I just chisel out the wood frame, cut a new box using pressure treated 2x4, paint and mortar it in? The vents are usually open for air circulation, I just popped in the styrofoam block today as temps are getting below freezing/ trying to keep pipes from freezing. Thanks! submitted by /u/chortle777 [link] [comments]
