LS your reply says to use thinset under the backer board. Why? I hope our project will look as good as yours. Billy Mac

putting the thinset under the backer board makes it super strong and it will keep the floor from flexing and causing the grout and or tile from cracking ..
mainly because you are going over 1x material if you were putting down a layer of plywood you could probabaly get away with out it

we did the same type project last year(we had lime green tile).we had to replace stud's and all flooring including joist. its amazing what a little water leak can if you ignore it for 12 years..... its also amazing you can spend 4 grand in a room that is 4x12.

My house is only 13 years old and the tile in my foyer is cracking all over the place. They laid the tile right over plywood! So, I'm going to redo that too. Oh well, the projects are never ending...

I have not got the experience of the pros on this site but I would recommend skipping the nails on the sub floor and instead use screws before using the thin set on top and then the wonderboard or equivalent.
Good luck Willy

Listen to Lumber, he knows what he's talking about.
LS, you do nice work and you have a beautiful V. I do nice work too, but my V's a little rough - wanted to get it in the shop last winter and do some spiffing up, but had to work my hinny off getting a house done. This market really stinks. Oh, well, a rough V's a lot better than no V - about time to hit the river. You guys get that bathroom done so you can get back on the water.
