Got about 40% of the first coat of paint down this evening. Still have some adhesive to strip off in the alcove, but I've got about as much of that off as I'll probably get. It'll at least be enough to move some furniture to that part, making room for the old carpet rolls in the other part of the basement until the dumpster comes. Hoping a single coat does it - it's Sherwin-Williams garage & porch paint, but it's still going onto bare concrete, and it does seem to suck it up fast....
