Have a bathroom that has linoleum(?) from the 70s and an old 3.5gpf toilet that I will be getting rid of.
The main issue has been to either 1) tear out all the linoleum and scrape off all of the residue, then install the tile or 2) install everything over the existing linoleum.
It appears the lineoleum is installed onto the concrete on the ground floor of the house.
A person at HD said that I could go w/ option 2, install the backerboard w/ fluted masonry nails, thin set mortar, install tiles and grout and be done w/ it. Then I can go ahead and install the Toto toilet I picked up.
Does this sound like an ok option to you?
Thanks in advance.
