The people saying that you can't paint indoors in the winter are morons. Don't listen to them. What the fuck do they think that painters do?

That being said, work in smaller areas at a time. The air is likely to be pretty dry so the paint will dry a lot more quickly. It would also be a good idea to add some Floetrol to help it level better and maybe even thin the paint with water a little bit.

Is your basement dry? Probably not overly so considering that you mentioned mold. Make sure that you get that taken care of before you go building walls. Because of the moisture that is likely present I would keep the insulation board up ~4" just so it doesn't wick moisture up behind it and give mold a foothold again. Depending on your water table the floor slab may get moist in the rainy parts of the year and anything tight to the wall will wick that moisture up and trap it.

FWIW, this is why I'm not a fan of foam board insulation in basements. It doesn't allow the building materials to "breathe" and improperly used can cause hidden mold issues and therefore health problems. If you're set on using it either use mechanical fasteners with nylon washers (preferable) and then stand a wall up in front of it, or use the fasteners of your furring strips to hold it on (meh, but it's fine). If you're set on using adhesive then use vertical lines of adhesive with no loops at the bottom that will give moisture a place to collect.

Keep in mind that moisture is going to ingress. You need to make sure that it has some place to go when it does. Don't try to trap it. That leads to mold and damaged buildings. It happens all of the time when people put up vapor barrier when they shouldn't or put it in the wrong side of framing.

Give water enough time and it will cut the Grand Canyon.

@Polygeekery said in The Official Status Thread:

The basement is split into two rooms. One was lazily "finished" when I bought the place. Drop ceiling, paneling with who knows what behind it, and a big slab of carpet with some linoleum in spots. The other, bare concrete that I painted with DryLock 7-8 years ago. The walls only need a few touchups but the floor majorly peeled.

The mold problem is entirely in the first room. Previous owners seemed to be able to keep it at bay with a dehumidifier. If I could've kept mine pumping out the back instead of filling up the bucket and shutting off, mold wouldn't be an issue. I bought two more expensive units that I need to take down and try again once it's cleared out a little.

I do plan a wall on top of the insulation. Videos show a wood frame with the bottom nailed or screwed to the floor. On top of that I was looking at faux brick but it's not clear if I can mount that to wood framing or if I need to put up drywall first. All of the videos I found on that are adding it to an already finished room. But I have the smallest section of it in the basement that's probably installed exactly like the paneling (nailed into or glued onto concrete is my fear).

Peeling or abrasion from walking on it?

Paint on floors is going to wear. You can partially mitigate that by adding some grit for slip resistance. It confines the wear to the top of the grit instead of all the way down to the floor.

If it is peeling up then you have bigger problems. This is actually fairly likely. Almost no one preps to paint concrete floors properly and if you have epoxy flooring done the prep labor is where a lot of the cost is at. At minimum you will need to clean it several times with soap and then TSP. It wouldn't hurt to follow that up with some muriatic acid to etch the concrete. Even better would be pressure washing, but that is not easily done inside of a home. Absolute best would be surface grinding the entire area to remove the top layer of concrete that is embedded with years of whatever was on people's shoes. Concrete is very porous and will hold onto lots of stuff that will prevent paint from properly bonding.

You can mitigate that partially by using oil based paint as it will stick better to surfaces with embedded grease and gunk as it is more chemically similar to it, but still not ideal.

Something else you will frequently see is paint applied over a previous layer of paint when the previous paint starts peeling. That only compounds the issue because if the existing paint is not properly bonded then adding another layer on top of it doesn't fix that problem at all, it only makes the paint thicker.

All of this is more effort than most DIYers want to do, myself included.

Get a powder actuated nailer (RamSet). It will save you massive amounts of time and effort.

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:

It depends on the faux brick. Some is more akin to paneling and can be installed directly on studs. Some is basically thin bricks that get installed in thinset like tile does, and there's all manner in between those two extremes. If whatever you are going to install needs a backer I would consider Hardi-Board. It is somewhat similar to drywall but made out of concrete and in addition to being stiffer and less likely to have tile-pop issues, it provides a better substrate for adhesives of all types and it also has no organic material in it so is highly resistant to mold and doesn't turn to shit if it gets wet. At minimum I would pay extra for moisture and mold resistant drywall.

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:

But I have the smallest section of it in the basement that's probably installed exactly like the paneling (nailed into or glued onto concrete is my fear).

If you need to remove stuff like that which is adhered to concrete either rent or buy a proper hammer drill that takes SDS-Plus or better bits and then get one of these:

The technical name is a "scaling chisel" but it is also known as a "thinset bit" or "thinset chisel" or maybe a "tile scraper". Make sure you run it in hammer-only mode. No rotation! I should not have to point that out but lots of people may not be aware that SDS and better hammer drills can be used like a small jackhammer.

A bit like that will save you tens of hours on even a small tile removal job. If you buy a hammer drill I recommend getting at least a model with at least a SDS-Plus model rated to handle at least a 1" bit. (25,400 microns for the metric folk)

If the person at the store tries to sell you one of these:

I suggest you pass unless you are wanting to knock holes in your basement wall. I am assuming that it is a block foundation? They work okay on slabs on grade or monolithic pour basement walls but they will knock holes in block walls.

You will probably have some thinset or adhesive left on the walls after you remove the faux brick and scrape it. You can either grind the rest off or skim coat the wall with an appropriate material to level it out. You could try using a sharper scraper in a hammer drill. Something like this:

YMMV on which works better. Both are going to suck.

I guess flaking would be a better term. Spots that got wet from plumbing issues above or spillage from changing water filters flaked the worst and I get why. There are other spots it also flaked that aren't as obvious. But it's not all coming up either. I did the muriatic acid bit on the walls but not the floor so I'll try doing that this time. The basement hasn't been a high traffic area though. The plan was to paint the floors, let it dry for a few weeks, do as much of the walls as I had to, and then put in DriCore floor panels.

powder actuated nailer (RamSet)
hammer drill

I've seen the latter suggested for both screwing insulation into block walls and screwing wood frames into concrete floor. I'm wary of using a nail gun on concrete floor because I can be a klutz with guns if I'm not very careful. But I'm also wary of drilling into concrete block walls if adhesive is an option because drilling holes sounds like it's just asking for more ways for water to get in. So I have to buy a hammer drill anyway I guess.

The weird thing about the video that cleared some stuff up was they tell you to use this pink stuff (looks like caulk) to fill in corners/gaps but then the next cut they show the guy putting up wood frames and the pink stuff is nowhere to be seen where he just squirted it. Did he wipe it off or did they film out of order?

Quite normal. In California, where @dcon is, renewal is every 4 years, although if you have a good driving record, you just have to pay some money and return a form by mail. Every once in a while, you have to go in to get an updated picture taken. After a certain age, you may have to take a behind-the-wheel test to demonstrate that you can still drive safely.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Then going to ask ChatGPT to see what others may have thought.

Well I did just that

: using PHP 8, having been given a MySQL date format string and a starting and ending date, enumerate all values between the starting and ending date inclusive into an array.

:

Certainly! To accomplish this task, you can use PHP's DateTime class along with a loop to iterate through the dates between the starting and ending dates. Here's an example:
<?php

function enumerateDates($dateFormat, $startDate, $endDate) {
    $dates = array();

    $currentDate = new DateTime($startDate);
    $endDateObj = new DateTime($endDate);

    while ($currentDate <= $endDateObj) {
        $dates[] = $currentDate->format($dateFormat);
        $currentDate->modify('+1 day');
    }

    return $dates;
}

// Example usage
$dateFormat = 'Y-m-d';
$startDate = '2023-01-01';
$endDate = '2023-01-10';

$result = enumerateDates($dateFormat, $startDate, $endDate);

// Output the result
print_r($result);
?>
In this example, the enumerateDates function takes three parameters:

$dateFormat: The format in which the dates should be stored in the array.

$startDate: The starting date.

$endDate: The ending date.

The function then uses a while loop to iterate through the dates, formatting each date according to the provided format and adding it to the $dates array. The loop continues until the current date is greater than the end date. Finally, the function returns the array of enumerated dates.

You can customize the $dateFormat, $startDate, and $endDate variables according to your specific requirements. enough...

Nice, but I suppose I wasn't quite specific enough...

: Detect the interval to add based on the date format given

To detect the interval dynamically based on the date format given, you can modify the enumerateDates function to include an additional parameter for the interval. Here's an updated example:
<?php

function enumerateDates($dateFormat, $startDate, $endDate, $interval = 'P1D') {
    $dates = array();

    $currentDate = new DateTime($startDate);
    $endDateObj = new DateTime($endDate);

    while ($currentDate <= $endDateObj) {
        $dates[] = $currentDate->format($dateFormat);
        $currentDate->add(new DateInterval($interval));
    }

    return $dates;
}

// Example usage
$dateFormat = 'Y-m-d';
$startDate = '2023-01-01';
$endDate = '2023-01-10';

// Detecting interval based on date format
$interval = 'P1D'; // default interval, e.g., 1 day

// Update interval based on the date format
if (strpos($dateFormat, 'Y') !== false) {
    $interval = 'P1Y'; // yearly interval
} elseif (strpos($dateFormat, 'M') !== false) {
    $interval = 'P1M'; // monthly interval
}

$result = enumerateDates($dateFormat, $startDate, $endDate, $interval);

// Output the result
print_r($result);
?>
In this example, the enumerateDates function now accepts an additional parameter, $interval, which is set to a default value of 'P1D' (1 day). The function then checks the date format to determine whether it includes 'Y' (year) or 'M' (month). Depending on the format, it adjusts the interval accordingly.

You can customize the interval detection logic based on your specific needs and additional date format patterns.

This is about the approach I was going to do, so clearly it's a common pattern. Interesting that is chose to just use the PHP's format despite my specifying MySQL. So I asked it to fix that part....

: Use MySQL Dateformat codes to parse the interval

Certainly! If you want to dynamically detect the interval based on MySQL date format codes, you can modify the enumerateDates function to map the date format codes to corresponding DateInterval specifiers. Here's an example:
<?php

function getIntervalFromFormat($dateFormat) {
    $intervalMap = array(
        '%Y' => 'P1Y',  // year
        '%y' => 'P1Y',  // year
        '%m' => 'P1M',  // month
        '%d' => 'P1D',  // day
        '%H' => 'PT1H', // hour
        '%i' => 'PT1M', // minute
        '%s' => 'PT1S'  // second
    );

    $interval = 'P1D'; // default interval (day)

    foreach ($intervalMap as $formatCode => $intervalSpecifier) {
        if (strpos($dateFormat, $formatCode) !== false) {
            $interval = $intervalSpecifier;
            break;
        }
    }

    return $interval;
}

function enumerateDates($dateFormat, $startDate, $endDate) {
    $dates = array();

    $currentDate = new DateTime($startDate);
    $endDateObj = new DateTime($endDate);

    $interval = getIntervalFromFormat($dateFormat);

    while ($currentDate <= $endDateObj) {
        $dates[] = $currentDate->format($dateFormat);
        $currentDate->add(new DateInterval($interval));
    }

    return $dates;
}

// Example usage
$dateFormat = '%Y-%m-%d'; // MySQL date format
$startDate = '2023-01-01';
$endDate = '2023-01-10';

$result = enumerateDates($dateFormat, $startDate, $endDate);

// Output the result
print_r($result);
?>
In this example, the getIntervalFromFormat function maps MySQL date format codes to corresponding DateInterval specifiers. The enumerateDates function then uses this function to dynamically determine the interval based on the provided date format.

Feel free to adjust the $dateFormat, $startDate, and $endDate variables according to your specific requirements.

I'm somewhat pleased at the amount of typing I've been saved. Even though it's not terribly clever, I can fix that and add some fun WTFimizations!
