Ok, after 2 five gallon buckets and 2 one gallon buckets of DryLock, im done. The basement is 16 to 1800 sq. feet so i did need all of it.
Gonna start framing this week end.
Im putting Berber carpet on Media and both bedroom sides and on the Kitchen-sitting/2tv aria and office side im putting a durable hardwood. (in plane english, carpet on one side of the basement and wood on the other)
Question: do i HAVE to put a plywood sub floor down? Then a pad and then carpet. I saw on another post that i shouldnt put a pad down in a basement, but if not wont it be kinda hard under the carpet? I will put a sub floor down in the bathroom cause i plan to put tile in there.
