comment How much does the quality of laminated flooring depend on its thickness?
As detailed and reasonable as this answer is, and as much as I appreciate that you won't use laminate in the kitchen, it has nothing to do with my actual question - I'm not asking whether it's a good idea to put laminate in the kitchen, but about how important the thickness of the laminate is to it's overall quality, all else being equal. FWIW, though, the Mohawk warranty covers water except under certain circumstances, including standing water or inadequate subfloor moisture handling and the like, which I am not concerned with.

I've removed the kitchen reference, because it's distracting from the real point of the question.

That's true of course, but we're replacing an existing laminate that's covering asbestos tiles. We've had relatively good luck with what we've got - it's in its 10th year of a 5 year warranty.

comment How do I repair a canned light that's falling down?
you might also be able to find a wider trim piece to cover a larger hole, if the looseness of the fixture has enlarged the hole in the drywall. Of course you may also need to replace the trim on all the other ones, too, if they don't match well enough.

comment What's the easiest process for cutting bathroom flooring tiles to fit complex door trim?
+1 used a profile gauge many times back in my set constriction days, but don't have one on hand, so I forgot about that possibility. I'll have to pick one up for other projects, even though the cut-away is the most direct solution for this particular problem.

+1 for the pull saw reference - as soon as I read aphoria's answer my pull-saw came straight to mind.

softening the vinyl is a great tip, thanks!
