Cover Up!!!
I'm going to WHITEWASH my basement walls. 6' foot high poured concrete and 2' concrete
block. You've probably heard of WHITEWASH. Anybody have experience with it? I'll COVER UP and whiten the walls with it. Might mix my own. |

I'll COVER UP and whiten the walls with it. Might mix my own. We used to use something called drylok when I had a basement. It stops moisture intrusion although if you really have a water problem it won't help much. It does hold the humidity down tho. http://www.drylok.com/products/drylo...terproofer.php I don't remember white wash being all that good a product. It was just cheap. (basically just slaked lime and water, maybe with a binder). I remember it rubbed off on everything. We painted a fence with it when I was a kid and regretted it. If you just bumped into the fence, you had a white spot on you. We were poor at the time and it was all we could afford I guess. |

The lime was a germicide and helped control smell and desease. It sure doesn'r help moisture-proof much and has NO durability. By the time you get a few coats on it flakes off like shale. Basically just lime and water. |
