Tiling upstairs bathroom flooring
My upstairs bathroom floor needs to be tiled and my Husband and I have done a downstairs bathroom, but, he is wairy of doing the upstairs himself because he has heard you need to do some things differently and isn't sure of exactly what that entails. He is also nervous about not doing something right and having more ceilin leakage. We did have carpet in there (gross) that I pulled out so we only have the basic plywood subflooring, and I cannot seem to find any books or information that specifies a difference in tiling an upstairs bathroom as opposed to a downstairs bathroom...
Can someone please help me... Thank YOu |

I had to replace a piece of subfloor and am now ready to cut and lay my plywood before laying vinyl tiles. My question is this: does the subfloor have to be leveled and filled or can I just lay my 1/4 plywood down and fill over nail holes then apply my vinyl tiles. Here's what I've got so far...
