I'm becoming a little more educated. I now know the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile, and sanded vs. nonsanded grout. Now we just need to find a supplier with a showroom....the local big box home improvement stores haven't carried a tile that called to us.
The floor joists are on 16" centers, and they are 2 x 10's. The native lumber was cut on site, so they are a full 2" by 10". I helped saw them almost 30 years ago. They span 14', and are covered by 5/8" subfloor.
if the sub floor is in good shape than every thing is up to code and tile can go down, with an under layment, dietra is probably the best, but you coulduse 1/4 in cement board mudded on and screwed and nailed.
For your tile know what the tolerances are, some large tile are much more crooked than others and they cup and bow ect. Tile leveling spacers come in handy in those cases.
