I haven't run across this situation before
I'm looking at a partially finished basement
Basement is concrete, at least 3/4 under ground
Looks like 1/2" drywall on 1x3s against the wall
There's a wood stove down there, and it's vented into the chimney
Well, I assume...
It's right under the fireplace on the first floor, and there's some cinderblock in the basement wall there
So anywho, the drywall stops a few feet on either side of the woodstove vent
I'm assuming they were worried about heat from the woodstove
H/O wants to know if I can paint the concrete there white like the drywall
The woodstove is a few feet out from the wall and where the vent attaches to the wall is about head high
Do I need to be concerned about heat from the pipe and any paint I might use on this?
Or heat from the wood stove?
Any good suggestions for concrete wall paint?
(I usually just UGL-it)
Any tips, tricks, hints, or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
