That's for sure...........

However, just wondering how everyone feels walking on the cement floors long term? I've read that cement floors can actually damage the bones in your feet, legs, knees............you can google that.

Does anyone notice foot, leg or knee fatigue with the cement floors.....even if they have carpeting over them? Or tile?

Also, does anyone install "radiant heat" on top of their cement slabs prior to putting down wood floors????? To dispense with the "damp" coolness.
Just wondering. People do it up here.

Thanks in advance.............(wouldn't miss the basement at all)
