You can right a lot of wrongs without going to this extreme. I'd be the first to admit I'm taking an all-out approach, but I could have done things simpler and gotten an almost as good result.
@@Jay_Schmidt Yeah that's true. I could level my floors from underneath at least, as my subfloor is in good condition. I have a pier foundation as well and my house sits at the bottom of a large hill... Aaaand the electrical all needs redone as well lmao
An extra beam could do wonders for an uneven floor. I may eventually put one in under the living room. Electrical, on the other hand, is a bit more invasive to fix.
I did plywood because it gave more support than a cement board. I planned to use an underlayment before tiling for waterproofing. the main thing I was concerned with was making sure the subfloor was stable enough to not flex and cause tile failure. It's probably over-done, but it sure is solid.
Glad to see you’re back and well!
Thank you, Oren! It has been a while. I hope your family and projects are doing well
Ugh, I watch these videos and I only get stressed because I know my house needs this exact kind of renovation to do anything right xD

The last layer of 1/2 plywood ? Why didn't you use
HardieBacker board or DUROCK
