Hello everyone! I'm wanting to pull up this old flooring which is like some type of huge linoleum that seems to be in sections about 4 to 6 ft wide. The house was built in the 40s or 50s and I'm assuming this linoleum or whatever it is has some type of crazy glue on it. I've attached a few pictures and I'm wanting to know...
Is it better to just remove all the underlayment which is tar paper and three quarter inch plywood or can I lay something over the top of it like a quarter inch plywood and use that as a base for my new flooring?
My total floor thickness without the linoleum is one and a half inches. There are two 3/4-in pieces of plywood that set on top of my floor joists. I have a crawl space.
I'm not sure what flooring I want yet but maybe tile or hardwood floors.
