I haven't found anything on any board addressing my specific issue -
I have a mixed subfloor due to remodel - old sections are 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" T&G planking (can't remember exact measurement), new sections are relatively planar to the old with 3/4" Ply. This floor extends from my entryway (stairway to have carpet runner), through hallway and into kitchen as well as pantry and laundry rooms. Plan is to have tile throughout, with mating joints to dining room of hardwood, and another hallway of carpet (hope you can picture that).
If I try to imagine a crossection of the floor, I get dizzy. Anybody have some advice for the under-tile and under-hardwood buildup to make all sections relatively planar - ? I have seen about 1000 different methods on these message boards for underlayment techniques.
And, one more thing, should I be tiling under the new kitchen cabinetry? I've heard it said that it's silly to tile under a cabinet, yet you need to be able to slide the dishwasher into place...
