Sarah: Yikes! When I linked that Kichler light it was on sale for $67. Now it's $134. I wouldn't pay that much. If you're interested, keep an eye on ebay. I really like the first sconce you posted but, again, too expensive. Keep looking. You'll find the right thing. I beg you not to give in to the Lowe's syndrome. Lighting is one place where you can get creative and separate yourself from the hordes, so to speak. Though Lowes and HD have good choices, I hate having lights like everyone else's. I think this fixture might be too small for your (lovely) Morton Building. Also, I'm not crazy about putting nickel fixtures outside. I think oiled bronze would look better.

gbsim: That's exactly what we've found the problem to be. The flooring people told us that the subfloor we had was fine, but it SHOULD have had another layer like yours did. Also, Forbo say NOT to use leveler on plywood as the moisture causes the wood to swell. The plywood swelling around the nails (from the moisture in the leveling compound) caused a depression in the plywood at the nails and then the installer went over that with the glue and the linoleum immediately. Now when the wood has finally dried out, the leveler that was in the depression that the nail made when the wood swelled, is now showing itself as a 'lump' through the linoleum. It is the installers fault, as we had THREE professionals out there, the first one said our subfloor was fine (we specifically asked if what we had was okay or did we need to do anything else), the second one that went to Forbo school installed over what he should have known was a problem underlayment and the third guy that fixed the floor mistakes the first guy made never said anything either. It's apparent that this company is not familiar with this product in a residential setting. The CEO of the company emailed us today asking specifics and DH has been going back and forth with him today. He is being decent and says if it's determined that it's their fault, they'll eat the cost of the floor. Don't see how they could reach any other conclusion, with all the info on the Forbo site saying NOT to do exactly what their guys did. jerzeegirl: The dots are hard but I gently tapped one and it seemed to flatten a little bit. DH doesn't want me to do that as he thinks the flooring with split or crack. I guess I'll wait to see what the heck we end up doing before I experiment any more. Maybe like Senator said, our problem will go away in the summer when it's more humid, lol. Buyer beware (and inform yourself utterly). Hoping this thread is helpful down the road to anyone contemplating marmoleum. Its such beautiful stuff, but boy if the installers don't know what they are doing, forget it.

Thanks everyone! Parma...it's never too late to learn! Go get yourself a machine and sign up for a class. You might want to check with a sewing shop about a used machine. Sometimes you can pick up some really nice ones for a song (with free beginner classes). Make your MIL something and put a tag on it that says "Handmade by the exceptionally talented Parma". LOL

What a sick SOB. There is a case up here of Dru Sjodin I'm sure a few have heard of it. The guy the convicted of rape,torture,and murder has now filed an appeal. Saying his case wasn't tried fairly or something. OH CRY ME A RIVER! Do you think Dru was given a fair chance?????? I know what I could do to all these slimeballs without a second thought, but I'd better not mention it here.
