    laying bathroom floor
    Is it easy enough to lay the peel and stick 1'x1' tiles in a small bathroom? I realize the toilet must be removed, quarter round also. I also realize cutting is somewhat troublesome. Any thoughts? The room is a basic 7'x4' space. Thank you. KiKi

    Very easy stuff as long as you're applying it to a smooth clean surface.
    If going over previous vinyl or tile, clean it super well... as straight of ammonia as you can handle is best.
    - follow the directions about starting in the middle.
    - when putting the pieces next to other pieces, push the butting edge inclose first, then while bending the tile, firmly push the rest of it down.
    - take close measurements up to edges - and sure, you'll goof a couple pieces, but you'll get the hang of it.
    - don't butt up to your walls. Leave a gap of 3/8".

    ... read through the directions, too: you'll do great.
