Tuesday my boyfriend and I replaced part of our old laminate floor due to water damage. I will be talking you guys how we did it so you can replace your floor if you want.
1. Lino first cut a line through the floor where we are ending the new tile floor. He used a plain circular saw and blade to make the cut.
2. After that was over we ripped up the old floor which was the easiest of the whole thing LOL.
3. After we ripped that out we swept and made sure the subfloor was clean. Now it's time to apply the glue.
4. The glue we had some issues with the glue.We had previously used the glue to apply our kitchen floor a few months ago and the glue started to dry up a bit which made it hard to spread. We added some water to the glue which helped eventually. With the glue your will need a special spreader tool. I have no clue which one my boyfriend go that, lol, you can ask anyone at a hardware store what to use when applying floor glue for vinyl tile. With that tool you are going to spread a thin layer of glue all over the subflooring.

5. Let the glue dry till its tacky and start laying the tile down starting from one edge and we did three rows at a time to make it a bit easier. Also every other rows started out with one whole tile and the next row started out with a half tile we alternated rows like that.
6. We cut the tile when need to go around the walls when needed.
The floor looks really nice. It brightens up my little working corner.
