To answer this question you will need to know the size trowel you need and also the number of pounds in a bag.

A 50 lb bag using a 1/4" x 1/4" square notch trowel, you are going to expect about 80 - 90 sq ft.

The back of the bag should give you the break down for other sizes.

That would depend on the size of the tiles.

You can, but the makers don't recommend it.

Yes you can, but it's not recommended due to the different expansion rates of plywood and narrow strips of hardwood. -All the experts will tell you it should be angle-nailed.

I C F (Insulated Conctete Forms) can be purchased at the rater of $1.75 - $3.50 per sq. ft.

To install formica you will need a "table saw" to cut it at least a 1/2 inch over on all sides and a router to edge it off once it is laid on your surface. you can also edge it off with a good metal file but this way is done with experience-- using a metal file for formica edging is not for the novice. first remember to apply the adhesive to both the table surface and the back of the intended formica and wait about 10 minutes before mating both together and be sure to have a block of wood with a piece of carpet on it for easy pressure sliding to rub your mating pieces.

Humidity in room under 50%. If it's plywood sub floor moisture level should be below 12 the lower and drier you can get it the better

Insure that your concrete floor is level with no surface imperfections that change the elevations. The material used to bond the tile to the concrete substrate is commonly referred to as Thin Set. Any hardware sales place will have it and the necessary application instructions for you. Foot traffic is usually not advised for between 24 & 48 hours after the tiles are set.

Tile patterns and placement are a customer taste decision, but a tile laid in a diagonally with a perpendicular border at the wall "Scream Custom" and are a feature well worth the time and added expense of labor!

The most important thing you can do for a superior tile install is to waterproof the concrete slab before the Thin Set is applied. A Penetrating Sealer that contains no silicones, silicates or sodium silicate blends is the best you can get. Look for a 15 year warranty for waterproofing and apply 48 hours prior to tiling.

This prevents moisture from wicking up and out of a concrete to destroy the bond at your tile/substrate interface. [Hollow Sounding Tile]. After your tile set has cured use, a cemetitious based grout [not a polymer modified product] of your color choice for your grout joints. Apply the same sealer to the grout joints to waterproof them as well. This will prevent contaminates from entering the porous grout joint to discolor it and ruin the look you have worked so hard to get.

Magic eraser may do it. I would dampen first and not much pressure at first as it may affect floor's finish.

20 in X 20 in = 5/3 ft X 5/3 ft.

Didn't list the actual dimensions of the area to be covered, just the total, so let's split it up in the most convenient way...

400 ft2 = 20 ft X 20 ft

20 ft / (5/3 ft) = 12 tiles per side (row)

12 * 12 = 144 tiles

Two ways to solve this:

1. Convert both feet measurements to meters, then multiply.

2. Multiply first, then convert square feet to square meters.

A foot is exactly 0.3048 meters; therefore, a square foot, in square meters, is that same number squared.

when starting from a wall you first need to make sure the wall is square to perfect. use the 3-4-5 method to find the perfect square-- this will tell you if the wall is perfectly squared or not.

In this case I will be starting with my right shoulder-- Stretch your tape measure and point the metal tip into the eight side corner of the room. now measure out to the left 3 feet and make a mark at the 3 ft. point with a magic marker or pencil.

now measure from the corner along the wall down to a 4 foot mark and mark a 4 ft. point

now measure diagonally from the 3 foot point to the 4 foot point and you should have a 5 feet reading-- if you have a 5 ft reading then you found the perfect square starting point and now cut a tile in a diagonal / half and set it in the corner of your calk line square. The rest is way too indepth so my advice is to "GOOGLE" How to lay ceramic tile to find your favorite how to video.

Good luck.

Measure the same length at a corner and snap a chalk line between the two points. Or start with a row of tile split corner to corner and lay off of them. It's really no big deal.

I don't know why gin stains vinyl tile, but we've found that Magic Eraser does the job of removing it. However, it leaves a dull spot, so you need to apply some floor wax after removing the stain.
