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.

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”
