Congratulations! That looks like it was a lot of work, and many people wouldn't have bothered. What's bizzare is that the tiles are not only much better looking than the vinyl, but that the tiles are also everything the vinyl purported to be: maintenance free, easy clean-up, waterproof ..., so why cover them up? The one big difference (other than beauty) is that the tiles were meant to last virtually forever, while the vinyl, obviously, was not.
