Comment on Toilets: to caulk or not to caulk?
uuj8za@piefed.social 1 week agoTIL, thanks! I do have flooring I have to install soonish….. It seems DIY-friendly so that’s interesting. Although, hm. Not sure about the drawbacks. Good to know about.

Take the drawbacks with a grain of salt, I’ve seen good professional installations, a lot of buildings in my area (both residential and commercial) use this kind of flooring. The good stuff is durable, can look really nice and hold up well with lots of foot traffic and doesn’t need the extra maintenance when done right. But you gotta pay more for the better stuff, like anything else.
My house was custom built on a reasonable budget during the pandemic, “builder’s special” kinda thing. We made it work, but there were definitely corners cut in places. Some things are quality, some things are cheap but work, and I guarantee the flooring was one of the things they cheaped out on. 😅
