Totally. I think there's a limit to this regarding flooring though. When you put down mock hardwood flooring that will obviously require a rug (and non-slip mat underneath said rug) and suddenly you can't open a door over it because there's 2 additional flooring layers underneath, it's just silly. It's workable in our downstairs area but the bath mat in the upstairs bathroom stops the door cold. Very aggravating, as the mat keeps having to be moved.

I'd be happy to lend you my plumbers snake, but I think the shipping would be as much as buying a new one!

I doubt a blower would work, as, due to moisture and temperature differences/condensation, the lint tends to STICK really good to the vent pipe. Though a long hose on a shop-vac might be partially effective in combo with the plumbers snake.

And yea for the new range. You do know that this means Turkey day is at your house!

And cookies. Much easier to bake good cookies in a well-working oven without hot spots!

There's regulations for this in roofing as well due to the wieght. I don't know anyone that has put a new roof over an old one. But depending on the material I suppose it can be done. And it would add insulation. But three layers is a bit much!!

I know it's common in the case of linoleum, I imagine not so with tile, or pergo
