  1. If you have the verticle space, I suggest using cement board. You can put it down over the existing crappy floor finish and then you will have a nice solid backing to bond to.


  2. If the rug is glued down, PAY someone to do it.  It sucks trying to get all that off.  I had to do a 1000 sq. ft. room and will NEVER do it again.

  3. This is just a partial answer--in other words, answering a part of your task at hand.  But PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU RENT AN ELECTRICAL glue picker-upper-scraper-offer thingy!!  Sorry I don't know the name!  But we did it by hand, and it nearly killed my husband, getting it really well done!

    You can rent them at Home Depot and that type of store.  It's WORTH IT!!!!!

    Have fun laying the new stuff!  Sounds wonderful.
