My fiancée and I are planning to buy a condominium and are considering tearing down the wall between the kitchen and the living room. The wall is not load-bearing, and I understand that I need to check with the association before we start sawing. However, I wonder what to use to cover the joints that will appear in the ceiling, floor, and the exterior wall that the interior wall "stands against"? Will it be possible to lay laminate throughout the new large room, or could level differences cause problems?
The house was built in '65, the ceiling and the adjoining exterior wall are made of concrete. The floor on the living room side is parquet, and on the kitchen side, it's laminate that the previous owner laid (and, I assume, there's vinyl flooring underneath it).
