I live in the great American Midwest: AKA “Why does this house have a basement?”
So unless you’ve got an EPIC need to listen to all your podcasts in one car ride, I think I’ll gratefully decline the offer. 
I’ve done a laminate job upstairs already and as much as I like it, laminate doesn’t like moisture. This basement will flood again. I’d rather put down tile. It’s not my house though, so if I do rip it up, I think all parties involved would probably rather prefer to leave the naked slab where it is for now. It’s a relatively small section of carpet and I don’t care about it. I will however, be buying sandbags and a flood alarm.
