Answer 2

Yes, I do, and unlike the last guy, I'll tell you what I know. I have them in most of my house now and am very impressed. I'd use them again anytime, in fact they're going to go in my bathrooms and the spare bedroom as soon as I feel like moving all the furniture. They were easy to install, they look good, have worn well so far and I have two large dogs. I made a floor pad for under my office chair out of them too. People thought the living room floor was wood until I told them it was vinyl. They beat laminate hands down as far as I'm concerned and the price is comparable. I've had water leak onto the kitchen floor and stay there for a day, no problem. What you need to install them is a utility knife(keep it sharp), a tape measure, long straight edge, square, pencil, some double-sided tape, and a pair of heavy shears comes in handy for cutting inside corners like if you have floor vents to go around. I got very little wastage, less than 5%. It's very important that the floor they go down on is absolutely smooth, as with any vinyl, because any little bit of dirt underneath can leave a bump. I kept the vacuum handy and vacuumed before each row went down. Be careful with the paper they come packed in. It's the slipperiest thing known to man, don't step on it or you'll slide.
