Tis the season...to work in the basement - a little each day. The cement block walls are getting prepped for painting. I raked and pointed about 8' of joint then scraped, caulked and cleaned. A good 50' of wall is ready so maybe tomorrow I'll mix up a decent color paint from my varied 2nd hand supply. Thoughts are about a darker semi-gloss on lower 1/2 and something lighter and flat above.
