Today's word is "scrape." Or maybe it should be two words: "elbow grease." Woah its lots of work! Yes, I am developing new muscles (and new blisters) getting every last bit of residual glue from the roll linoleum that I have removed. I am finding that using a water-saturated rag on the area that I am trying to remove the stubborn adhesive helps quite a bit. I let it sit for a good five minutes or so to soften that glue before using my 5-in-1 scraping tool. Since there is no rush to get this floor done, I can work on it in phases. I hope to touch-up all the woodwork this weekend and finish the last of the scraping. If all goes really well I plan to lay the linoleum tiles as well!
