You can install vinyl plank over your cracked tile, but depending on how uneven the tile floor is now and in the future (it will continue to crack) and how think your selection of vinyl plank, it will show through the floor eventually.The existing tile likely cracked due to instability in the subfloor.

Good morning BP.I am trying to find out if there is a way to get select data out of the MLS system and into a data table such as Microsoft Excel.For instance, if I specify all Single Family units in zip code 77042 between $100,000 and $150,000 I want to get all listing in the MLS meeting that criteria into a spreadsheet that I created.I am trying to do this so that I am not tethered to the MLS and I will be able to review the listings even when not online.Thanks.
