If anyone recalls, I'd recently posted about having a raised acadian style house, we're about to out 18x18 ceramic tile in out dining, kitchen, and utility rooms. We're using schluter-ditra. We plan to get started this weekend. I supposed I'll find the time tomorrow to call the store owner for his opinion, but I have to at least ask:
is there any advantage at all to laying this over the existing laminate floor that is there?
I'm thinking NO. But, I do not KNOW so, I'm asking. :u)
It's laminate flooring from the 1980's, AND we painted it w deck paint a few yrs ago. (it looked pretty decent but is starting to wear, it was better than the ugly color that it was until we could ceramic tile it).
It's in pretty good shape, seems to be very well installed (No gaps etc., and no cuts or scratches. So, only if there is an advantage to leaving it there and putting the thin set, then ditra mat, then thins set again then tile, then grout then sealer, let me know. Thanks,
PS I guess I'll find out if I'm being moderated still! :u)
Take me with you, please
LOL, I need a vacation from this insane life I lead.
Have a great time Dale

If you happen to be one of those who has yet to be located and are still in a Moderated Status, your posts will not be sent on until after I return. Somehow everyone on the list was placed in a moderated status just before I was so graciously given the moderator position and I can only determine who the active members might be and place them on Un-Moderated as they contribute to the discussion. It seems that there are one or two about every day right now but we might go for several weeks with no one who still happens to be moderated coming forward. There are over 7,000 active and inactive members in this group and there is no way I can go through them all.
If you are still one of the ones not yet located or happen to be new to the list and are still being moderated until it is determined that we are not in fact being spammed, I apologize for the inconvenience.

First might I suggest you make sure you are dealing with aluminum
siding. See if a magnet attaches if so I don't think it is aluminum. I
too, thought I had aluminum siding but come to find out it is not. My
non-aluminum siding I primed with an oil base metal primer from Sherwin
Williams and then painted with an exterior latex. It has held up for
over 10 years.
