This project has become an expensive one and want it done right.Thanks

I'm having it done as we speak. To summarize all the replies, if you have base board and you like it, then remove it, lay the floor and replace it 3/16" higher up. Or leave it in, lay the floor and finish with 1/4 round. It's totally what you think will look best. As far as the fridge is concerned, do as suggested, pull it out if there's enough pipe to allow this (usually there is), otherwise turn off the water and disconnect it - a simple job. I didn't see anything about a gas stove but if you have one, usually they are connected with a flexible hose, so just pull it out. I've attached a picture of a combination of baseboard trim and adjacent 1/4 round. And yes, they went over the linoleum in the kitchen. My husband is over 80 but he has been able to move anything (washer, dryer, stove, fridge, toilets) that needed to be moved. We have a husband and wife team doing an outstanding job at a quiet leisurely pace.
