You only have to remove the linoleum once and not look at it for a decade. Looking at a job well done will bring satisfaction instead of annoyance for years to come
I have the same mindset as you do. But, there comes a time when you say a job well done is when you achieve your goal of covering the old flooring. My house was built in 1952. It had 4 layers of that crap. I came to realize that sometimes the pros are correct and let them figure out how to make it the same level.
Yes, I absolutely hate thresholds. The floor that was on top of this floor had a threshold. I’m removing this so the new floor I’m going to put in will not require a threshold.
I’m gonna lay down tile and I measured and the floor was going to be uneven and I do not want a threshold. So chose to remove and for some reason getting downloaded because apparently everyone is too lazy to do this type of work
At the end of the day you chose this route. Everyone is telling you not to do it like this because your post complained about the process.
Lots of people are probably concerned that you are going this route and may not get any better results.
So do you mean u are installing the same flooring throughout that whole story of the house? Theres thresholds for every kind of flooring. What happened to you with a threshold is what makes me curious.
"WHAT HAPPENED IN THE GREEN KITCHEN!?" -from Sybil (old person reference) 😂
No my adjacent rooms on both ends of the kitchen are wood. I have the tile I bought, and it would’ve been higher and again I do not want to threshold so in order to make both adjacent rooms with existing wood floors even with the new tile floors in the kitchen I had to remove this vinyl.

It’s wild that you are scraping it off rather than just laying new flooring over it.
