Just a thought, if you do the basement and the concrete is so far unpainted or
uncoated you might first run a radon test. If you have radon gas and raw
concrete you can seal the concrete with stuff that will block the gas.
If you paint the floor or seal it with regular concrete sealer and then
discover you have radon, it is much more difficult to get rid of the gas.
