Does anyone have a magic trick for removing vinyl floor from concrete? I am scraping it up with a mutt, and it is going painfully slow, I almost think I could do it just as fast with my fingernails. At this rate, I am going to be at this forever.

Since you don't have a heat gun you can try your iron. Put an old t-shirt between so you don't accidentally melt the vinyl to the iron.

My bichon Diva doesn't roll around outside. If she lays down...it must be either on the cement or the deck. My DH knows when to cut the grass because she won't walk, pee, or poo on long grass. So she does her business in the driveway. Grass can NOT touch her whoohaa.

Hoohaa!!! That is what we call em too!!! Boys have poe poes!!!!!

Heat. Using a heat gun will soften the adhesive making it easier to remove. Just make sure you heat it not burn it.

Sounds like a great way to go about it. Sure do wish I had a heat gun.

Oh hey, I have a better idea, why don't one of you come do it for me?

If only you lived closer.





Yeah, right. There are only two chances of me taking on that project. Slim & none.

My old bones would ache for days.

I will remember that later on when my boys are playing with their poe poe. At 3 and 6, it seems to be a favorite toy. I am chalking it up to a boy thing. LOL

I used to have a heat gun.... I think my sister swiped it several years ago to bend plastic in to wooden planters... The iron idea may work. I have one of them somewhere.... NOPE, nephew borrowed it for his suit... never got it back. Kids. Sisters... YUP.

Oooh, thanks, I will try that. I am pretty much ready to try anything at this point, I've been at it all day and not much to show for it.

Opa - You turkey!

Time moved forward while you were playing with the floor?

I'd say sorry but I'm not, really. And I'm cracking myself up.

But good luck with your project!

I will remember that later on when my boys...

One lady that I worked with, she is about 60, said that when her boys were young they would swim too far out into the lake... she told them if they swam out too far the NEWNIE turtle would bite their newnies off!!!

It worked! They stayed in the shallow water! Also, her boys would come in to the shop, now in their 30s, and we teased them about the terrible newnie turtle!!! Maybe that is why they hardly ever came in!???
