The
linoleum required gluing down. This was obvious when noting it
shifted slightly each and every day. I purchased two tubes of extra
strong glue and managed to warn my son not to go into the bathroom
for 2-3 hours. Luckily, he had decided to pushbike ride to Hazelmere
and back, taking several hours, anyways.
This
difficult task was done by firstly placing the lino in perfect position and
then lifting a corner to move a 1/4 into the air at a time. I covered the
hole-ridden vinyl linoleum below in squidges of glue and relaid the new linoleum on top
of the gum. Luckily, this and a quick pat down sufficed. I am now
ready to chop a chunk up for the windowsill and then move on with
what is left over to the next place - the toilet.
This
is going to be much more difficult. Currently there are pieces of
carpet over newspaper over floorboards. Therefore, if I try to glue
linoleum down, it will be directly onto the dusty floorboards below....
This
is the end of the bathroom saga - for now!
