By that logic wouldn't covering the walls and ceiling with latex paint have the same effect? The floor has always been covered with panda film so it is dry other than ambient humidity.

I'm not trying to argue, just trying to be cheap lol.

Yes.

Actually, a piece of heavy plastic taped down on a cement floor for a few hrs is a moisture test in a basement.

I'd worry about OSB delamination. I'd get another piece of OSB and put it over the floor and up the sides and flex seal that.

I like this idea! A 4x8 sheet of 1/8" OSB is only $30 at home depot.

if you do that are you hoping that you don't see any moisture under the plastic?

Our floor isn't raw cement. It has a thick grey rubber coat sprayed on the floor and all the way up the walls until the wood framing starts.

This stuff is thin and I think would be water resistant and could still be sealed with flex seal. I used it on the walls of my flower room.

Exactly

The grey coating is probably epoxy.

This stuff isn't normal mdf, it's treated. I don't think 1/8 inch normal mdf would hold together.

There's always greenboard and tiling the mother fucker but I'm bored and hot.

I think I'd just seal the existing OSB, if it doesn't need more support.

I have a leftover piece of Hardiboard you can have...lol.

It's peg board without the holes. OSB can take direct rain for a bit till the roof of the house is built.

Super practical too.

This little guy has been hanging out on our patio for two days. Every time you get close he sticks out his back legs... so threatening.
