Larry, a few years ago I had to rip up our bathroom floor in a hurry to repair a broken pipe. After I got the sub floor back in place we needed to replace the finished floor as quickly as possible. We went out to the local home center and got some 12 x 12, peal and stick vinyl tiles. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and quick it was to put down a good looking floor. The tiles can be cut to fit with heavy duty shears or a razor knife, then just remove the paper covering the adhesive on the back and stick the tile to the sub floor. This floor lasted about 12 years in a high traffic bathroom with no problems. A job that I thought would be a horror show, turned out to be kind of fun and a blind friendly project.

I really don't want to put the money into ceramic tile or that wazoo composite wood stuff. This means that good old sheet vinyl is at the top of the list. Is something like this feasible for a blind guy to do? What do I need to be aware of? and what part of the job can genuinely bite me in the ass?
