Paper strips trick for lay out

When installing sheet vinyl flooring in a kitchen or bath make a template of the floor using butcher block paper by cutting and taping together individual strips. Once you have the floor design laid out with the paper trace the outline of the paper onto the flooring and cut it with a utility knife. Be sure to leave a quarter-inch gap between the flooring and the wall so that the new flooring has room to expand. This area will be covered by shoe molding and quarter round. It's fool-proof ... Even I did it... And it looks great. Mndbnder
