Painting A Basement

Inhospitable basement has sounds walls and floor, only minor moisture problems, but little use. Remove fleaking with a staff wire brush. Stop minor moisture penetration with a waterproofer coat. Appy paint with long roller or brush- two coats of latex or one coat of waterproofer, then latex. Paint around obstacles and wall edges by brush, then roll floor with alkyd porch and deck enamel. Lively colors, a few lights and blinds on the windows will turn a basement into a habitable recreation room, play area or work space.
