I have a cabin with a full basement wood foundation. The floor is 3/4"
plywood. I'd like to install something more pleasing to the eye.

What are my limitations with respect to materials?

Can I use carpet?
Engineered wood floor?

The basement is dry although there has been some condensation on water
supply from well. Foam insulation on the pipes should cure the
condensate.

Thanks.

Hi,
Wood foundation properly done is as good as concrete and will last LONG
time. You can install any flooring material you want. My cabin has
yellow pine planks and carpet, as well as lino(in the bath room).

Thanks for encouragement. I will most likely do ceramic in the laundry
and wood for the balance.
