Vinyl floor laying part 2

Hello again  to those who replied to my request for info re laying vinyl
flooring.  I posted this earlier but it didn't get through.

I could not get any cardboard big enough to make a template so in the end I
used old computer paper.  I did the floor in three sections:  the L-shaped
bit with the toilet, then the long bit with the radiator pipes, with the
door at the other end.  After a week of measuring, measuring, measuring
again and laying the template down and measuring, measuring some more, I
applied it to the vinyl and (gulp) cut it out.

I laid the vinyl on the floor this Tuesday, and while the edges matched to
the walls, there were bulges in the middle of the vinyl.  So I spent time
cutting away from the walls in order to flatten the bulges.

Result:  a perfectly flat floor, but with some gaps at the edges of the
walls and shower enclosure of as much as 4 mm.  Never mind, eh?  I fixed it
all down with double-sided tape and it looks great.  Next task:  applying
white silicone mastic all round to cover the gaps where the vinyl joins the
wall.

The Medway Handyman was right about not doing this for a paying customer.  I
wouldn't even do it again for myself!
