Our 2nd home in TV we wanted to replace vinyl for ceramic. I asked installer how messy this would be. He grabbed cut down the middle and pulled up. Spots of glue every couple of feet, not close to how it should have been glued. Top it off the amount of debris that the flooring was installed over was unbelievable. He smiled, not messy at all, I just have to sweep and vacuum all the junk left on the floor.

I always wondered why you got a hollow foot step with a crunchy sound in some areas.
