Hello!
My husband and I finally bought our first home (yay!) but it hasnt really been updated since being built in the 70's.
We are tackling our first real project, which is updating the spare bathroom as it is probably the ugliest part of the house.
My job this week, while the husband is out of town, is basically to remove all of the things.
Google has been my best friend, but with the floors I need help. There is old laminate (or vinyl? I dont know what the difference is) and it goes a few inches up the wall with a golden metal strip holding it in place.
How do I properly remove this? What is it even called? I tried just prying it (using an old chisel). I got it a little disconnected, but it seems to maybe be nailed on, and I am worried about damaging the walls. Is there a better way? Or do I just need to manhandle this ugly thing?
Thanks!
