Any carpenters or handymen?

Question

I have a new apartment that we're fixing up. Well the people that owned it before we did made the bathroom floor out of that indoor\outdoor carpet(that green plastic stuff.) They glued it to the cement and I don't know how to get it off so I can put tile down. If you know how will you please let me know....thanks!

Answer 1

Flat blade shovel perhaps,,,but with care. A good quality, sharp blade scraper, and elbow grease.

You actually have an easier task than if the floor was wood or any type of tile. Any adhesive residue can be sanded or ground off, and then clean well, and do what you intend after.

Call someone in the flooring department at Home Depot or Lowe's or a similar large DIY store and explain the situation to them. They answer more questions every day about matters like this and are going to know what to tell you that will get it up easiest and with the least amount of damage to the floor.

What some people do! Gluing plastic 'grass' to a bathroom floor. Disgusting!

Answer 3

The economy is down. Every moron that thinks himself to be a handyman / carpenter is coming out of the woodwork ( no pun intended). Most "handymen",,,well,,,aren't. AND most don't want to PAY what I am worth. Some are more qualified, than those they work for, but this doesn't mean they are good. The weather,,,well,, I don't want to work in the rain & the mud, for YOUR schedule. The good, qualified guys are,,,well,,,,busy. Only the poor quality guys can get there tomorrow.

Answer 4

if the floor is concrete and good condition use a shovel to lever it up and then all glue residue that is left gat an industrial scrapper and start scrapping.
good luck it will be hard work
