Wow - February for the results??? that seems really excessively long.
Hope it goes well regardless...
Remember we get FREE health care so waiting 6 months to see someone is normal
at least I didn't wait for 6 months then get an appointment 6 months later lol.I'm curious what parts of this are serious?

@dashrender All of it.
With the NHS it "normal" to wait months to see a specialist consultant like neurologist/neuro surgeon. We can wait between 4-8 weeks just to see a GP for normal appointments/check-ups.

Anyone else seeing a bunch of online casino spam lately? Last couple of weeks we've been getting bombed with it, and most of it makes it to people's inbox. Can't see much of a pattern to the sender or subject lines to try to keyword block it, either.

I've never waited 6 weeks to see a GP. I'm not sure I've even waited 4 weeks. Frankly, if I need to see a GP, it's because I'm sick - waiting does me no good - wtf?
As for a specialist - again, pretty sure I've never waited more than 2 weeks to get in. That said, I know in the office I work in, we have doctors with no open slots for as far out as 6 weeks at times.

6 weeks has been about the average for me if I need to move an appointment for my audiologist. For a GP, I've never had to wait more than a day or two.

Finally got some work done on the bathroom floors this weekend. All that's left is to cut out a hole for the AC, screw the floor down, and start laying out linoleum. I can't make up my mind if I want to do a single large sheet or some peel & stick type linoleum... What do y'all prefer handling?

Peel & Stick is what I would suggest as you can easily replace small sections as needed instead of the whole floor.

I try not to do linoleum and probably won't in any future homes. The contractor relatives have some horror stories of "properly" sealed linoleum leaking and causing some serious damage to the sub-floor.

I have done the peel and stick in areas where there isn't water. It works ok. It tends to lose its stickiness on the edges and corners though.

^^^ This x1000. Linoleum is the worst. The peel and stick ones leave lots of edges that can leak. Find some tile on sale and put that down properly, you'll be good for a lifetime.

For a bathroom, I'd much prefer glazed ceramic floor tile over anything else.

Pretty much this. You can get really decent ceramic tile (especially ones without the pigment all the way through) for a reasonable price. We did our bathroom with discontinued tile, purchased a few extra boxes "just in case" . Which you'll probably need if this is your first time cutting tile.
Make sure you put cement board down under your tile and on top of your subfloor.

And if you want to make your wife incredibly happy put something like this infront of the sink and outside of the shower underneath your tile.

None grounded, and not covered in tiles so I can short her out and cook her at the same time?!
Wonderful idea.

Generally with peel & stick, the issue is like the others have said: Leaks.
The current issue was caused by a leaky toilet this time (it leaked under neath the floor instead of around the sides). My folks hired out somebody to do tile in their kitchen a few years ago, and it's not doing so well around the edges. Similar issue to the edges of linoleum coming up.
We're not sure what we want to do, but we do have a few designs to pick from for the peel & stick.
