EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Good question. Unless you do a layover on the hardwood for the linoleum the linoleum will show all lines of the hardwood flooring eventually. Would certainly be easier to clean though.

It's called "telegraphing" when flooring patterns appear thru overlays. I helped Hubby with his biz for a couple yrs. He was a flooring journeyman.

Area rug a bit narrower than the area you want to cover, 'cause I doubt the walls are true.

I tore up more carpet. The dog had an accident, and I didn’t want to get out the carpet scrubber again.
So! A runner, an area rug or DIY tiles/linoleum?

Interesting.
Yes, the dog is as stubborn as a certain child. He’s choosing to pee inside. She is doing it outside. Choosing. Not accidental.

Didn’t want to get too technical on the flooring but yes telegraphing. When the company I work for was using linoleum our sub was using a gypsum based filler with would expand with moisture. Horrible veins from the filler would appear within 24 hours sometimes. They were blaming our slabs moving. When I proved it was their filler product and specified a concrete base filler instead problem was 99 % cured.
We’ve since switched to tile with flexible thin set. Problem solved.
102* today. Going to try to find some shade out there and get more done. 4 more chickens gone today. 5 left for our eggs and 25 chicks for a total of 30 birds out there. More to go when the chicks mature and start laying.

Don’t know about the thread but I feel like sleeping.

Dependable floor patch was gypsum- starch based. Almost everybody used plain water instead of the expensive moldicide additive they recommended. Then Armstrong started using a mold killer and put a pink dye in the patch for proof of it wasn't their flooring molding out. If you didn't use All armstrong methods, warranty void- falling back on the store/installer. Carpet stores would have to cut out a small piece of the flooring-patch and all, to submit it for warranty.
THEN the industry switched to cement/latex based- and corrected the prob like you said. Hubby had 25 yrs into that stuff. When I lost my job at a downsizing Firetruck manufacturing company after 21 yrs with them, Hubby and I formed a small Flooring INC bizz. Sales was where the money was and installing the product.. we were on top of the world. I was selling faster than he could install. Had to find subs.. Then his knees started acting up. The rest is history. bla bla bla.
I learned so much in that 2 yrs or so with the grouch.

I’ve watched a couple installers as a team go from young guys to barely walking after 30 years of installing lino. They’ve since split up and are teaching their sons. Sad really. Knees aren’t meant for that. Of course not much in the construction business is good for you.
The owners did very well.
I do remember the Armstrong dye it didn’t work very well. Well that was a stroll down memory lane. I was running the company’s customer service at the time. Lino was the top of the list on problems. If it wasn’t the cracks it was the seams shrinking or the wrong seam seal.

Well that sure didn’t last long. On of the young roosters has started to crow. So much for the quiet out there.

I have learned that it makes things crawl out from under rocks.

Well, look who crawled off his iceberg long enough to respond. I only got an email at first, but then began the texting. If I had you, I could send a picture of the rooster she wanted decapitated. It would serve her right for bugging me with stupid questions, then not showing up.
