Answer 1

If you are trying to save money, go to your local flooring store and ask if they will sell you last year's samples. My father-in-law did this and got tons of different colored squares of carpet - he laid out a pattern of colors and glued them down with carpet glue. He saved the left overs in case a portion of carpet gets ruined. His rec room is so cool and they get tons of compliments about the flooring! I hope yours turns out great! God bless!!!

Answer 2

I made cheap plywood look like a hardwood floor. I drew boards on the plywood using a sharpie fine tip marker 8 inches wide and random lenghts. Then I stained the wood, and polyurethaned. Time consuming yes but in the long run cheap. It has held up well for 15 years and I have had to tell people that is fake they cant tell the difference

Answer 3

The problem with this is, it's going to come loose, tear or wear?

Your asking cheap, this is what your going to get, cheap. In the first place, get a lino from your local vinyl store. They always have a cheap grade, it won't last, that's the guarantee your going to get. But, it will be cheap. Have a couple of friends help you lay it, it's not hard, try and get a good glue, you have to spend money somewhere.
