    Also, should I get up ALL the black? I think I'll need to get the adhesive of to do it.

    Recommendations for my current flooring project

    So, I feel I will be scraping black rubber for the foreseeable future at the rate I'm going. Neck and back issues limit how much I can do at one time. Took a total of about 45 minutes to clear maybe 1 to 2 Sq ft, and that still leaves the concrete with a black haze of sorts on it. This only...

    Recommendations for my current flooring project

    I have thought about tile as being the best option to hold up to the unexpected. My concerns include, could I even do it, the time it takes, how much floor prep for a 50 year old concrete sub floor? Honestly, it intimidates me, but that's not stopped me before. I've learned a good bit over the...

    I have posted a few questions on here but still not sure what would be best so I thought having it in one thread may be better. Would love any secrets you may have on what steps I need to take. This comes after a click lock vinyl floor I laid failed after 4 months. Right now-I have removed...

    What is your estimate of top gas price in your area?

    I had that same thought yesterday. My son drives for Doordash. He saw the gas go from under 4 to 4.59 in 2 days. Can't remember when gas jumped that much that fast.

    Looking for the best LVP that can withstand heavy for traffic. For a hallway. Needs to be waterproof as it is near a bathroom, the hot water heater, and laundry room which has flooded the area twice in my 20 years here. I've looked at several different brands and wondering if the thicker brands...

    Found black foam material under carpet I'm replacing

    Thank you for the reassurance! Do I need to scraper EVERYTHING of the concrete? There are remnants of the adhesive under the rubber backing. Would this also cause the floor to fail? The laminate floors have done fine with the small amounts of adhesive left from old carpet padding. This turned...

    Found black foam material under carpet I'm replacing

    Found a black foam substance glued to concrete after removing carpet. Pulls up easily where it is the thickest. In researching I found black mastic cut back adhesive that might have asbestos and left over backing from rubber backed carpet. How can I definitely tell the difference? What I have is...

    Hi everyone!

    Hi, all. Thank you for adding me. I am a novice diyer, I guess. I've laid down 2 laminate floors and 1 luxury vinyl tile successfully. My last floor went horribly wrong, hence why I'm here! Look forward to the conversation
