Hard to see on this tiny screen but do you have a coat of mastic down? Bathrooms and kitchens, mastic will save you a lot of headaches after it cures.
Going hard core we were taught one way but too late on your project: screw 1/4" hardybacker over subfloor then tile. Keeps water off the sub floor. Same for entryways if you are getting that ambitious.

 

This isn't good !!!!

Can't wait to read the Moron report tonight

 

Yes, I sense...anger

 

Now we’re talking!

I use thin set for the floor. Mastic is generally for walls because they it can hang tile well and yes easy to work with vs thin set I already have 1/4 USG fiber rock on the floor when I ripped up the vinyl flooring. I screwed that in every 8 inches. The sub flooring is most excellent and will not move. The floor will not be getting wet.
For some I suppose tiling is ambitious for some but for me it is not. I've done my own through the years and certainly know what I can do vs what you shouldn't. The floor will not crack. This is a very simple and common type of tiling job as there are no thrills. A 4.5 inch grinder with a stone blade is very sufficient. An excellent grout job covers a multitude of mistakes vs a crappy grout job. If you do a job like this please study up on what you are doing because it payoff in spades.

 

You might come from wonderful stock but my knees catch it.

 

Same here. Bone on bone. Makes jobs like what you are doing most painful.

 

Evening all, semi-new guy and I haven't been here much. Working crazy but going for spinal injection tomorrow. Colonoscopy pre-procedure meeting Friday. Isn't getting old fun?!

 

I hate when doctors get behind me.

It can never be good

 

You know you like the prostate exams

 

I've got 11 doctors. The only one I hate going to is the urologidt

 

There are eleventy billion different opinons on tiling, it just depends on who yelled at you the most growing up and working the family lineage.
Maybe why us kids thought about therapy...

 

yup. my doc bends you over the bench. and when you go oh crap and lean forward his stool has wheels. he just rolls along with you with his damn finger in the exit only hole. asshole!

 

I've got a urologist appt at the Nashville VA on Friday and not looking forward to where the camera is being placed
