ok gang...I think I just about have it!
I located some Micore within about an hours drive...been given a lot of looks about what micore is. etc at everyplace I've asked....
I'm gonna take out the sub floor put this 1/2 micore down/then durock then tile.
I plan on framing the tile with some type of Oak. My carpet is going to go to the oak.
I know a few of you have done this. I bought two tile books but no book is exactly clear and I get 5 answers from 5 people lol. I thought maybe somebody that found success could give me a 30 second rundown.....
Which should I do?
1.Cut the carpet longer than needed...screw down the trim and then put down the durrock.. after cutting the carpet on the inside of the trim
Should I run the durock all the way to the existing hearth....
2. put down tacks ...then lay the molding ...then trim
3. From the books...I gather that you leave a gap between the tile/trim but where things are vague is that do you run the durock to the trim or this space will all be filled with caulk.
3. Take out a loan and hire a "professional" who says they know what they are doing
and then they screw it up..(not trying to tick off the pro's...just the story of my life lately-hence why I'm gonna try it myself!
