Hi Folks,
Had a contractor here yesterday, two in fact, and each gives me their own
interpretation of something I need done to my kitchen floor, so I'm wondering
what you all think.
I'm going to be replacing the ceramic tiles on my kitchen floor upstairs. I'm
going to be laying thicker tiles
In my opinion they are both wrong. I would leave the sub-floor, put down a thin
coat of cement, lay down 1/2 inch cement board, (3 ft x 5 ft) Put a few screws
along the edges and nail it with roofing nails.

Hi RJ,
I'm afraid that would not be an option, as that would lift the floor to a
height that would be unreasonably tall.
The addition of the 1/2 inch cement board, in addition to the thicker tiles
would be higher than I'm willing to step from a living room into a kitchen,
but thanks for the th
I'd get one more opinion.

Hi All,
I have a dark brown aluminum storm door and storm window above the door.
I am replacing the door with a white storm door.
Can this window be easily painted? I thought of using rustolium paint.

I would pull up all the tiles and then see just how the sub flooring
looks and feels. if you find weak spots. Then replace it all.

You should take a look at www.consumerreports.org they have great
information about air conditioners and they rate them for their
quietocity as well as lots of other things.
You can also look at split minis. The compressor sits outside the house
and you run the cooling lines up to window units
Victor,
If the current tiles are cracked and coming up, that makes me think that
your current floor isn't sturdy enough for tiles. If something isn't done
to strengthen the floor, you will have the same problems with the new tiles.
My recommendation is to tare down to the sub floor.

I've got a wood floor with linoleum on it. I guess the glue just went on
it. It's gotten hot here and I guess the glue just couldn't glue anaymore.
What do I use th to get that tile back in place?

Hi Victor,
I will begin by saying I have very limited experience with ceramic flooring. My
understanding though from studying the subject a little and why I don't have
any here is:
Laying tile on a wooden substrate presents two problems, both related to
movement of the wood. The first is expan

Hi Victor,
This is taking me some courage to write this since I know virtually nothing
about floors, but we just had new flooring laid down in our kitchen, I believe
it's the kind you snap together with no little grooves between the tiles. They
didn't do anything to the linoleum underneath as i

It's just incredible, that we had a form of battery that early in history.

working condissions those must have been back then.
