 Kitchen Nightmare
 
I have an old kitchen floor where the old vinyl tiles are missing, damaged and filthy. The subfloor is pretty intact though. Some moistur damage under the dishwasher though, where it leaked. It's been replaced, so no more leak!. What can I do to make the floor new without having a tearout and big mess?

Well, first takethe time to remove the old surface tiles by using a stiff drywall spreader or wide wood chisel. You can isntall a thin backer board like Luan (4x8x 1/8th"). Screw it down with 1 5/8th drywall screws, then you can apply self stick tiles or even better, a floating snap together floor like Pergo or Bruce Flooring.
