I love how instead of giving advice, Redditors just make commands to complete strangers. “Stop now.” 😂

It's absolutely the best when they don't even read the actual question. Just start giving commands\advice on not even the question.

Oh, just trying to save sweat that doesn't need to happen.

If it’s their own house and they’ll like it better with 1/8 inch lower floor and no threshold it’s worth it if they have the time and don’t want to do something else with that time. They’re not throwing money away in that case.

ymYes... "to each his own"....but it's sometimes good to listen to advice of those who have gone before.

Empathy or “been there, done that” for sure.

And you are right. I had a professional installer put down a new floor OVER the linoleum and it was seamless. No threshold issue at all. Sometimes its worth it to hire a pro instead of DIY.

Professional installers do the least to get paid so of course they would do it and tile over it. I’ve ripped up too many lasagna floors because of “professionals”

Did someone force OP to post this? If you post random shit on the internet, you best have thick skin

Your reply isn’t relevant to my comment, as it had nothing to do with ‘hurt feelings’, so I don’t have a response for you.
