Porch floor options

[Groves]

Lots of good input. Thanks.

Let's pretend that I was a total bottom feeder house flipper. Not all flippers dwell on the bottom, but the person who did this house was mr cutcorners. What devilry did he invoke to stick that carpet down? Do I really have to sand it all off?

At this point I'd like to consider epoxy paint possibly with some grit added.

I figure as with any paint the prep work makes or breaks the quality of the job. Does epoxy paint stick to even old carpet adhesive?
