Vinyl flooring sounds like a good idea. If I ever build another layout I will look into it. Prep for painting may require some research.

I have read about vinyl flooring in one of my MR books.  I can definitely see where there would be advantages to that.  But I'm already committed.

Today I found DAP Dynaflex Flexible Spackling.  Flexible, sandable, paintable.  "Won't sink, shrink, or crack."  "Repairs drywall, wood, and metal."

We shall see......
