Cardboard is very likely to get mold, mildew and provide food for a wide array of ants, worms, etc. My red worms love to eat carboard - full of cellulose, sugars and more. Id skip the cardboard.
Aaahhh. Okay what would you suggest then? As the insulation is too thick for underneath.

Kyrgyzstan. Off the top of my head: One of five post-Soviet countries in Central Asia. Population about 6 million. Capital: Bishkek. Tallest mountain: 7,000+ meters.

Bishkek itself is situated high above the sea level, at the altitude of 800 meters or so. You can see snow-capped mountains from anywhere in the city and at almost any time of the year.

Bishkek is insanely green. Which wasn’t a hit with my hay fever! Here’s a view of the back of the building where my mom lives — a very typical apartment block.

A monument to horses in one of the most central locations, between two shopping centers.

A lot of the architecture still harks back to the Soviet past.

A highlight for daughter — the transportable nomadic home, the “yurta”:

Can you build a false bottom that is just super insulsted? and your new house sits on that plstform. The cold earth sucks a lot of heat, do it is good to have a well insulated bottom. Good luck.

When I got home, our pool guy found a baby bunny in our pool. I warmed him up and put him in the shade. He is tired and hasn’t hopped off yet.

I love rabbits. Little wild ones are so hard to help. Maybe a little protection through the night if he's still there.

Maybe something that you attach under house siding? I remember it but can't remember what you call it.? Something quick and easy yet you are able to change easily when you can.

Still at car wash. I was dying in the sun so I took a walk and got light headed because I’m on a very low calorie diet. I walked back and found a breezy shaded spot.
That's a very thorough car wash!
Hope the car doesn't shrink after such a long cycle!haded spot
Make sure you take of yourself Kathy we don't want you fainting off!

No age limit on fun .... some of those LEGO kits are only suitable for master degree holders [emoji12]
I have a tub of the big ones for toddlers. You aught to see all the kids building stuff! Their ages range from 3 to 30 or more. Even the bunny gets involved. It's hilarious.
