    I was going to suggest walls first, but since it's epoxy... sorry... i think your husband might be right on this one...

    That sounds kinky. Sorry, I didn't read the rest.

    I say have him do all the work how he wants, and you go for a walk while he is working. He can tell you when he is finished.

    I didn't read any of this. I am going to side with your husband.

    Too funny I am not mad at my husband I seriously and trying to understand his side. Hence why I asked, I don't like to disagree with the hubby. :wink:

    Maybe the argument is due to the fact that you say my husband and me and instead of my Husband and I. Just saying

    Have someone else do it...painting sucks!

    We are a very big do it yourself couple. We have redone the basement before because of a flood. We put walls up and built a wet bar, computer office and storage room, also laundry and bathroom. We don't mind doing it ourselves. This time we decided to paint the floor cause its all different and yes we fixed the flooding problem this time too so we can not have sewage come into our house again THANK GOD!!

    My husband says that you work your way from the top to the bottom. So ceiling, walls then floor! :smile:

    I do believe it is going to be epoxy
    Then it wouldn't really matter. Expoxed floors are really easy to clean up. They resist all sorts of liquids, oils, dyes, etc.

    As a man I would much rather side with your husband, but as a former painter, do the walls first then the floor, at least that is how I would do it.
