Re: Info needed on linolium removal...
rc581....<br /><br />The kitchen floor is smooth enough I will be able to put the new flooring, linolium/vinal, over the old, with no anticipated problems and the utility area and the second upstairs bathroom linolium is cleaning up real nice like. This will save me a lot of time in meeting my time goal. The masterbathroom and the downstairs bathroom floor is tile, which I will install myself.<br /><br />aspeck....<br /><br />The entire upper level floor is oak plank flooring,is quite thick wood and is in magnificent condition. This includes all of the closets. I am going to have the linolium installed in the kitchen, no way I would attempt that. (at least in a home I own.)<br /><br />I busted my "hump" with last week, with some help from my daughter, and made some real headway. <br />My third dumpster arrived this AM and hopefully I am done with for the house it's it's self.<br /><br />The new dumpster is on ly a 15 cu. yard one and I have already filled two 30 yd. ones!!<br /><br />The way is has been going the last couple of weeks, I really think I will meet my goal of October 1st.<br /><br />I still have the yard issue to contend with. Rather than redo the landscaping, I have decided to offer the buyer, whoever that will be, a cash rebate after the close of escrow, to do what they want to do with on landscaping or what ever.<br /><br />Property is still a sellers market in this area and I want to make it available, before the bubble bursts. <br /><br />A home across the street from me had it's first showing a week ago Sat/Sun and had a "sold" sign on Tuesday!! My place is much larger and has a larger piece of property, than the one that just sold. There were apx. 80 people who went thru the home in the two days it was open. Like I said, it is still a real sellers market here, with most homes being sold with offers higher than the listing prices.
<br /><br />Thanks again for the great feed back.<br /><br />...Bob in Calif...
