Ok, so my folks are without power and are in their 70's and will be out until most likely Thursday.
They have a wood stove in the basement, but when my dad got his new furnace and hot water tank, they put the hot water tank too close to the stove. Back in the icestorm of 2008 when he had to use the woodstove, the heat from the woodstove blistered the tank.
Anyway, he never did anything about it, and they are now in the same position this year without power.
What can I use to for a material (Cement board?) that I can place in between the stove and the hot water tank? I am guessing its probably 20-25 inches between the stove and tank, and would like to get something temporary to get the stove running and give my folks heat. (Again, 70's and my dad just had hip replacement surgery)
Any ideas?
