Im thinking about going with acid stained concrete in my basement and pulling up the carpet. Anyone had it done? I was going to buy some laminate at lumber liquidators but the reviews of their stuff is pretty bad and their customer service is terrible.

My basement has acid stained concrete as the floor. It is great.

Looks awesome and maintenance is practically zero. I have kids and have no worries of tracking in dirt or even spilling drinks. Quick sweep and mop and any mess is cleaned.

It does make the basement feel a little colder and industrial. So, if you have had carpet, it will be a very different feel.

One thing to remember though, you do have to keep it sealed. It is still concrete and is a pourous mateial. You should seal the floor every 2-3 years to keep it maintained.

My company used to supply all of the builders in Charlotte with acid stain, and all other decorative concrete supplies. It's all about who is doing it, and how good their product is. I'd insist on Scofield stain if you do this project. There are many cool ways of staining concrete too, multiple colors, patterns etc.

We've been thinking about doing this on our patio around our pool. It's a large area which makes me hesitant. Anyone think this is a bad idea? Will it be super slippery? Any other suggestions?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
