We just did some remodeling in our basement. Here’s what it looked like when we moved here.
I’m not a big fan of carpet in a basement. There is no evidence it ever got wet. It just isn’t my preference.
The entertainment center was the first thing to go. We put it out on Facebook with a note that it was free for the hauling. A couple people said they wanted it but never showed up. I took it apart and it is in our back garage.
I spent about 4 days tearing out carpet, padding and tack strips nailed into the concrete. Not fun but it was going to be $2,500 for the coating company to do the work.
We decided the carpet on the steps also had to go. Whoever put that down had stock in a staple company.
The work crew for the flooring showed up and step one was grinding off the polished surface of the concrete.
Yes, it’s that dusty.
