Removing linoleum is in fact a giant pain. Do you know what's underneath it? You really need to use a scraper to get off the linoleum, and then you'll have to use a solvent and another scraping tool to get the gunk off from underneath. You can try slashing the linoleum before scraping or peeling it off. It's also possible to rent mechanical strippers from Home Depot, I think, though I've never used one. (also, you could possibly lay down the new stuff on top of the old...) what is this fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jan 7, 2008 |

Death Pants posted:its concrete underneath. Laying on top of the old really isn't an option. The installers did a real poo poo job so it's peeling up in a lot of places. How much of an issue would it cause to rip up the old, but still leave the adhesive gunk on the concrete? You need new adhesive.

Zionist_en_fuego posted:Graphic Designers or Photographers Help me make my apartment not suck! 11x17 will be OK at 7MP. The best looking thing, however, would be to take the picture you have, scale it up, possibly play with it in photoshop to remove artifacting, break it up into four smaller pictures, and have it professionally printed on canvas, and mounted, etc.

also, if you need a big image and you have only a small image, livetracing it in illustrator can be a quick way to get a stylized vector image, and photoshop has various "hipster" filters like halftone pattern which can make things look stylized but otherwise fine when blown up.
