We've only used linoleum on the back porch / laundry room / summer kitchen. I'm not terribly impressed with it, but it was a good choice for that room.

I usually solve the problem by buying for a narrower wall thickness and then filling in the games with custom shimming which after filling, sanding and painting disappear. The other problem I have is that I work hard to put everything back in nice and square in a house that isn't. I always say that all this refurbishing work makes me appreciate the rare instance I get to do some new build work.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-20423879276293288912015-07-13T09:56:15.343-04:002015-07-13T09:56:15.343-04:00Fantastic!
