Hi- we just moved into our house. Before us, the place was rented out and when the landlord decided to sell, he basically did enough to make it show okay, butnow that we've moved in it is a mess. We had arranged to have carpet installed this coming Monday in the basement and we can't cancel it because we can't unpack half our stuff until the carpet is in. After a month of living out of boxes in our new home, I don't want to wait any longer. However, while washing the painted concrete in preparation for the carpet, some of the paint peeled off the floor, which makes me think they used latex paint instead of proper concrete paint. I also believe they painted over cat urine, as the neighbors have told us horror stories about what went on in this house before us. So I'm afraid that if it's latex paint, it will eventually let cat odors through, though I can't smell it right now...or that somehow the latex paint will damage the carpet or make the padding stick to the floor...please share your thoughts or advice on how I should proceed, if I need to do anything at all...
