Hi,
Trying to figure out my options for filling in an old basement door entrance. Previous owner secured a piece of chipboard to the exterior of the house by back filling it in with sand. They used insulation, vapour barrier and finally, another sheet of chipboard and caulking on the interior. It rotted. Wondering if I can do the same using pressure treated ply and better materials or if I should fill it in with cement. It is an older cement/crushed rock foundation. I have little experience working with cement but have a feeling that this would be the way to go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
