On my claim with USAA, it included moving/replacing cabinets to repair floor underneath, removing/replacing/painting base boards and damaged walls, movers to take everything out of the level the flooring was on and lodging expenses since we could not be in the house during the refinishing. I was not considering any of those things as part of the claim initially, but my adjustor and the company they sent to bid the project added all of that into the estimate.

I think I spaced it with a 10d nail last time I did one, but feel like it ended up spaced a little far, some sources recommend placing them tight to one another.

Sure. Include your email address so I can send an example of what it should look like, if it doesn't.

Pex is easy-peasy. You can rent the crimper tool a HD.

Plumber, but only because remodel time was short and we had a lot of other work to complete, plus he did all new baseboard heat that we likely could not have handled easily.
Pex isn't super hard to work with but need some special tools for fittings, etc.
Good luck.

I get it but it's already there don't want to change materials and cause a fucked up transition. My preferred material is marmoleum for bathrooms and kitchens for durability and added resale value. Trying to change now and create a smooth transition would be a nightmare and not so cost effective. Fuck vinyl flooring or any engineered flooring, they can keep that shit for all the DIY channels.

Linoleum is a high-end product these days. People often conflate cheap-ass vinyl with linoleum (Marmoleum is linoleum), but they don't know what they are talking about. I would link it for you but since the very beginning of this thread you have been singing the praises of shitty engineered flooring products while denigrating time-tested materials, so I won't waste my time.
Also, your slate floors aren't waterproof. If you are regularly dumping water on them, you are probably getting whatever is underneath wet for extended periods of time.

I think we can agree that it's the most punk rock of all flooring.
