Danger! -- Asbestos Hazards and floor tile - I heard a program about
Asbestos Hazards on Wisconsin's - WPR The Ideas Network
The Asbestos particles that do the damage float in the air and are so small
you can't see them.
Those particles can float all over the kitchen, hallway, and living room
areas.
They will go through a vacuum cleaner bag and a furnace air filter!
Have a professional remove the old floor tile so that the asbestos is safely
contained!

Read all, the information you can on Asbestos Hazards! Asbestos is NOT
outlawed, congress is debating outlawing it, NOW!.

This is going to be a tough one, sort of. I hate to say it, but you must
deal with the uneven floor. You wouldn't drive your brand new car down
the roughest road and tear it up would you ?

There are two options available, one less expensive. The first is to
either tear up the top floor layer and replace it or put down a 1/4 inch
covering if the underfloor is not that bad. The second method is to
take some floor leveling compound (white power you mix with water) and
apply it to level the floor in the bad areas. It hardens quickly.
After getting it level then you can proceed to the flooring. That's a
matter of taste, lot of options out there. J

Is sheet vinyl the only, or best flooring for use on an uneven kitchen
floor? I've been here almost 20 yrs., and suffered with the rolling
floor, so I'm not interested in spending money to cure that problem at
this late date.

I'm an over the hill female who will have to pay for everything to be
done by someone else. So I want to choose the easiest installation for
them, to hopefully save money. However, I do want a good flooring
product. The one I have now is still shining after all these years, but
it has some black marks I can't get rid of, and is pulling away from the
walls where the floor has warped.

Any advice and/or suggestions on brands/products/prices, will be
appreciated.
