Hi platypusjones, To add to the information that has already been posted, remove the vinyl and the underlay below it to get back to the sub floor. Now check the subfloor thickness, if is 1" OSB or 3/4" plywood, you need to add at least 3/8" exterior grade plywood to bring the total thickness of the subfloor to at least 1 1/4" thick. Now you have a choice whether to lay 1/4" or 1/2" cement backer board, or much...

Linda, Thanks for the explanation, but I am wondering how you keep the kids from destroying your tree while they search for the pickle? lol I have seen the pickle ornaments, and I thought it was kind of strange, but now I see the light! TFS

I see no way bottom cabinets will work out, the counter top will be far to shallow, the sink will not not have enough room to be mounted, there's going to be almost no room to store anything like pans or cookie sheets, a standard countertop would have far to much over hang, you would have to set them on some sort of platform so the doors would not be dragging on the floor, any appliace would be sticking way out into the room past the...

Published (2009-11-26 11:23:00)
A couple of reasons to use the backer - 1. Even though the backer is bonded to the subfloor with thinset and held down with screws, the backerboard isolates much of the movement of the subfloor from the tile. 2. If you attach tile to a wooden subfloor with thinset, some of the moisture from the thinset will be absorbed into the wood. This makes a thin layer of dryer thinset which will not bond as well.

Just thinking: It could possibly be more costly than one would think, depending on possible asbestos removal/disposal as well as how far away or close by any necessary disposal site is?

Right now I am trying to get my SB supplies organized but I have so much it's overwhelming. I do have most of my paper organized. The stuff I use evryday doesn't get put away. My favorite organizatonal item is some clear canisters my mom gave me. They all have a different color embellishments in them. She got me two sets. So it's really nice to go to each canister and know that it's only one color. Have a great day. Vickiy

First off, forget the guy who want so set tile on top of the existing vinyl. Bad idea all around - thinset will not bond well to the vinyl and the overall bond of the tile floor is limited to how well the vinyl is attached. As to the rest, the short story is that you spend a lot of money on tile and a lot of time and/or money on installation - you might as well do it right while you have the ...

Hi Bluesgod, First of all where are you located? The reason I ask is that if you are located in an area where there is a cold winter, frost will penetrate deep into the ground and unless this structure is deeper than the frost, water which is absorbed by the bricks will freeze and cause them to fail over time. In addition, how deep below grade is this structure particularly at the ceiling. ...

It's been a while since I personally cut marble tiles. There is a pro online here that I'm sure can answer your question well. But I was having the same problem once so what I did was set the depth of the blade to cut half way through on one side. Then I would flip the marble tile over and cut the other half. That seemed to prevent spliting down the veins. Also, take it very very very slow. Make ...

If you clean it well, I don't think sanding would be necessary, with a good primer. I have been gradually changing my kitchen (shiney brass hardware/knobs, pulls and hinges) to a color to match cabinet paint. I just clean them well with TSP, rinse and dry well. Then use a Rustoleum spray primer and topcoat with their spray enamel. The primer sticks just fine to the surface with no sanding.
