Tar? Linoleum? Well, natcherly I assume you got all the necessary EPA , OSHA, etc. permits to handle and dispose of all that gunk and asbestos. No doubt you engaged a certified disposal scammer? Yep, I’ll betcha did all that? You have my sympathies and best wishes for a nice hardwood floor. I’d wish hellanddamnation on the sinners that did all that but I expect they’ve long since gone to their final rewards?
One can hope! Heh.
I still wanna know what kind of numb-nutz uses tar to affix linoleum to hardwood. Probably related to the moe-ron that was observed by the staff at my old law firm droppin' a deuce in the planter box of the lady who lived across the street from there. In broad daylight, natch!
