Default peel and stick tile

I'm going to put some of these down in a small bathroom this weekend.
This is a quick cheap fix for a year or so as the whole room will be
gutted and redone then. That being said, I want to do this as simply
as possible. I am thinking I can pull the baseboard and start by
putting them right against the wall, working out to the door. The
toilet I'll loosen and just tuck the edges under it, then re-tighten
it. Other then the fact I know this is a half-arsed way to do a job,
does anybody see a problem with it? Remember, it only needs to last a
year (or less), and I have little time right now.

Thanks,
Jim


I wouldn't pull the baseboard or loosen the toilet. Both of those
could result in you having to do a lot more than you planned.

Just get within an 1/8 inch or so to the edges and then use the
bathroom caulk to lay down a small bead that covers the crack.

It will look professional and save you one heck of a lot of work.
