the bootom floor is origional oak 3" boards. i belive the plumbus is below that & ubove the cieling in kitchen.
i am almost calm, 2 patches on & a 1/2 cig today. so i may buy a tile saw instead of renting. a 12 dollar differnce, and then its mine http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productList&function=search&categoryId=TILE_SAWS.CATEGORY&topic=goShopping&bc=c still not sure the best way to do this. guess i will pull out toilet. rip up flooring tonight. put down cement board re hook up toilet. then wait till week end to tile? sucks.
