As a builder, I was given the privilege of building a new basement for a residential property. It was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever done. Building the basement, the walls, the drywall, and the flooring all together were an interesting and learning experience.
That said, the basement is one of the most boring places in my house. It’s a place I look forward to visiting, but it’s also one of the most tedious places to work in.
The first thing you need to do with the basement is remove the old wall. After that, you can just add the new wall. But for the rest of the building, you need to be able to work with the existing drywall and flooring. To do that, you need to be able to sand, chip, and paint the existing drywall. It also means you need to be able to sand, chip, and paint the existing flooring.
It’s hard enough to find the right level of sanding, so I’ll skip that part. The rest of the basement work is pretty simple. First, you need to find the right chip color and then sand the surface of the flooring. I recommend going with a light color for that because those colors tend to wear better than dark browns. If you start with a darker color, the flooring gets more gunky and you’ll have to sand again.
It’s pretty simple to sand the flooring. All you really need to do is scrape (or pry) the existing flooring to the correct surface, and sand it with the right level of sanding. I recommend sanding off the top of the flooring, and working from the base of the flooring to the top. It’s pretty easy to sand the floor in a standard basement. If you go with another contractor, they will probably have some sort of flooring scraper.
I think this is one of the easiest ways to get rid of the gunk. The gunk is actually very soft and fluffy on the bottom, and hard and rough on the top. You can just take the gunk off the top, and sand the top of the flooring. I recommend sanding only at the base of the flooring, and sanding from the base to the top. This will make it much easier to sand the floor in a regular basement.
If you don’t do this, it will be very hard to get rid of the gunk.
Sounds like this may not be doable with a regular flooring scraper. It just makes the gunk stick to the floor and make it much more difficult to get rid of.
The last time I worked on a basement flooring project, I ended up breaking a ceiling and had to spend days digging out the entire area to even have the area sealed back up. The bottom of the floor is usually a bit rougher to work on, but if you sand it all enough and make sure you sand it from the top down, you should be able to do it.
