    White board paint!

    ^ Good question. Do you know the particular brand by chance? Also, what surface we're you painting over and how long did you give the paint to dry before using the markers on it? 4-5 coats sounds like a bit much, sounds like something is off.

    Bathroom floor: laminate v. tile

    Hey there albirdy, This is Mr. Jay with The Home Depot. Kudos for going about redoing the place on your own, it’s not for everyone, but very rewarding in the end. :) If your already thinking tiles, you’re on the right track since they offer a nice solid sub-floor, and are water resistant...
