Denny -

Great story, and great photos. Thanks, this will serve as a guide for me, and I bet for others with the same problem.

My only question: Where the original (kitchen) linoleum met the original (living room) carpet, there was a divider/trim strip. Makes sense. But I would have thought that if both the linoleum and the carpet were removed, and replaced with new stuff (tile, whatever), then the entire area could be re-covered without a divider/trim strip. But your description shows a new trim strip. Is this because you did it in two parts?

If I removed ALL carpet and ALL linoleum at the same time, and replaced them both, is there anything about the substrate that would require a trim strip?

What did it take to remove the (presumably) glued-down linoleum?

And to follow up on Chris Bauer's post, could you estimate the MAX thickness that could be accommodated?

Thanks again

Bill
