We're remodeling a small galley kitchen, including new cabinets and laminate flooring. We're struggling with the decision of whether to lay flooring throughout, then install the cabinets, or put in the cabinets and floor up to them. Currently the floor is tiled, not under the cabinets but under the stand-alone stove. We've hired out removing the tile and grinding down the quick-set, so we'll be starting with a blank slab. We were initially leaning toward putting down the cabinets first, since it would require less flooring and be easier to remove pieces of laminate if they get damaged at a later time. If we take that approach, we are concerned about problems with (1) getting the undercounter dishwater out when we need repairs or replacement, and (2) trying to align the height of our stand-alone stove to match the counter tops. We'd appreciate any advice regarding the right first-step. Thanks.

I'm looking to put up a nice glass tile backsplash in my kitchen. I came across a product in HD that was a roll of double-sided self sticking adhesive used to hold the tile to the wall, as oppose to a layer of tile thinset. Has anyone used this type of product? Thoughts? I didn't look close enough, is it cheaper than thinset? Is it easier to use than thinset?
