I posted here about a month ago installing tile in one of my bathrooms.

The professional guy was here today. *He has done a lot of work for me
in the past, but I need some opinions please.

He said my linoleum is in excellent condition and they would leave it,
and put hardibacker on top of that. *He guarantees his work, and in 30
years says he has never had a problem with tile cracking due to not
removing existing linoleum.

This is a tiny bathroom that measures appx. 8' x 4'.

Does this sound like a good way to go about the project?

Many thanks in advance.

The only thing I would worry about is the slightly reduced ceiling
height due to the thicker floor, and any door height mismatch where
the bathroom floor meets a bedroom of hallway. Putting hardibacker on
top of the existing flooring should be just fine.
