> [@Fry](#): > > Nice. Iā€™m going to circular-saw the entire 3 layers of flooring into 9x9 squares so that I have a prayer of getting it up but that might help. You realize that the nails are spaced on ~6" squares? There should be hundreds of them holding down your sub floors. No need to saw. You get the 36" bar under the underlayment, then hit with BFH. Then your floor comes up in nearly 4x8 sheets. I have removed 3 so far in my house. 2 from the kitchen, and 1 bathroom. Its probably a days work to get up all 3. With a saw, it could be hell. ---

The saw worked pretty well. Maybe Iā€™ll try the pry bar too. Use both, lots of beer and swearing. Eventually itā€™ll be done. ---

I had two layers on mine and tried to pull them up in large sections without any luck. I ended up cutting the linoleum in strips of 24" wide and then using a prybar/hammer to take it up. After you pull up all of the floor, check for any nails left in the floor. Then pull those guys up with nippers. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Yep. Saw. Pry. Piss. Swear. Groan. Sweep/pull up leftover staples/nails. Mortar. Mortarboard. Mortar. Tile. Grout. Advil. What is the subflooring? Is it plywood or tongue & groove? For extra, added security you should check for any squeaks or soft spots in the floor before you tile. I went along and screwed the floor down along the joists about every 6-8" to eliminate any future issues. Use a strong screw (8x2" and make sure you counter sink.) With tile, you wonā€™t get squeaks, but you could get cracks. :ohnoes: ---

I took my floors of one layer at a time, so my sheets came off mostly intact. Infact, there are a few of them still in my garage. I have been way to lazy to cut it down for trash day with all of the nails in it. ---

Power tools are fun. Iā€™m just going to cut it up. Itā€™s tongue and groove. Iā€™ll tighten her down before I start in with the mortar board. I also should start thinking about whether or not I need to do a bit of jack pole style floor leveling. Thereā€™s a bit of an uphill slope by the outside wall. God bless Tonawanda clay. Except for the work that Iā€™ve done in the last 3 years there isnā€™t a plumb surface in my house. ---
