How to Install Vinyl Flooring Over Tiles (Over Linoleum Tiles) - Thrift Diving

I installed vinyl flooring planks in my basement (Lifeproof Seasoned Wood variety vinyl plank tiles) that I bought from The Home Depot. My basement already had linoleum tiles that were in good condition, but they weren't very nice looking. I wanted waterproof plank tiles that looked like wood, were easy to install over the existing tiles and would be easy to get done in a few days (my basement is just under 600 sq. ft). See how I installed vinyl flooring in my basement! EDITED TO ADD: A few people have mentioned that I didn't stagger all the boards. That's not the case. This is a multi-plank flooring, which means the small tiles are 4.5" wide, the medium is 5.5", and the large is 10" wide. The instructions and the display at Home Depot all show that the 4.5" and the 5.5" planks, when snapped together, are treated as a single plank. Therefore, once snapped together, I staggered them as if they are one plank. Hope that makes sense!
