Great video! Funny you brought up painted floors, my husband and I were just talking about them yesterday. We have a basement (ground level) utility room with linoleum. I think we can just pull up the linoleum, clean up the glue residue, and paint the concrete floor. He thinks our damp ground (we’re in the Pacific Northwest) will spell trouble for any paint we try to use on the floor. ???

You know, what… I just put a link on the discussions tab of my Facebook page to a blog post where the lady painted linoleum. Seems like it came out nice.

There are paints that will hold-up to any moisture AFTER they cure. It’s keeping it dry until the cure is complete that can be tough, especially if the moisture is from the surface side, rather than the air (rain). If you can keep it dry for a week, I’d say you can paint it.

There are also paints made especially fro damp conditions, but you would get better info on that from a paint man at a real paint store.
