Well, the giant roll of flooring finally arrived, and I taped it all down in place with double-sided carpet tape. First I had to scrub the concrete floor to clean it, which took up most of a day and was quite an exhausting experience. Here's a few photos of the process. I had to cut it into sections before I lugged it downstairs, as even when cut up the rolls of 4' x 13 1/2" weighed about 100 pounds. I got the flooring from
Rubber Flooring Inc, and apart from the enormous shipping costs I think it was worth it. They even sent me 3 free samples so I could make sure I got what I wanted.

After that, it was a waiting game for the door I had ordered to arrive. That finally showed up last weekend though, after more than a month's wait. Took all day to fiddle around with the fit as the wall around the door opening is completely wonky. I fit the casing to the opening first, but it wasn't plum from one side to the other, so the door would stick out at the bottom and not close flush. After repositioning the door about 4 times, I finally got it to close properly. I'll have to shave a bunch of drywall off the room's exterior walls to attach that moulding though.
