There is a paint product. Cant remember the name, good lumber yards will have it (I dont do box stores) It is intended as a water barrier for basement walls. It is white, and will hold back quite a bit of water pressure. I would like it better than a plastic vapor barrier. It rolls on and stays put. It dries really hard.
I then put the blue, styrofoam sheets up. 1" thick. Then I laid 2X4's flat against the foam and used tapcon concreted screws to secure them to the walls.
I then sheetrocked, finished the sheet rock and painted it. You can get shallow, plastic, electrical boxes. I screwed them to the studs, that were laid flat, but I cut the blue foam board out behind them to allow more room. Wires can be run behind the 2X4's, just take a screwdriver and mash the foam down to allow room for the wires.
I did this on one wall cause I needed the space and didn't have room for a 2X4 on edge like normal. On the other walls, instead of sheet rock, I had some 1", sycamore planks that I had cut on the farm. I put on a non shiny finish and nailed those to the 2X4's laid flat. Some of these boards were 10" to 18" wide. I put "batten strips" cut from the same boards over the cracks. Top and bottom trim was made out of the 1" sycamore.
The foam really made the basement warmer.
We put a vinyl rolled flooring down direct on the concrete. they used an adhesive glue that just holds it in place. You can peel it up if necessary. It is thick, has some give to it, and it mold resistant and anti-bactierial in case of water issues.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
