hey lenny what kind of glue is used for these floors thanks mark ----- Original Message ----- From: Lenny McHugh To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] snap together flooring I have it in the kitchen and really like and recommend it. The only thing is that the joints must also beglued to prevent water from getting under. The thing I like best that over the past few years quite a few glasses have been dropped and not one broke. With a tile floor they would be history. Lenny, Please visit my home page http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ It's motivating, humorous and has a lot of resources. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Howell To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 7:42 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] snap together flooring No, I'm not planning to use it for a kitchen. However, I know folks who have. I have ceramic tile in the kitchen, bathrooms, and a small section by the frontdoor in the livingroom, which if I even considered removing, my wife would surely have a complete and total fit. Come to think of it, I rather like the tile myself. Thank you all for all the great info and advice. This is one of those projects I'll have to save for since it'll cost some money for sure, but I think in the long run it'll be well worth it.
