I have a 1908 farmhouse which originally had roofed, but unwalled tongue and groove porches. (true 2"x8" joists, 20" oc, diagonal 1x10 underlay) 100 years later, it is time to resurface the porches, and my preference would be to lay down tile.
Basically, the back porch is 5'x6', the tng runs in the 6' dimension and is perpendicular to the joists. Front porch is ~30' x 6' across the front of the house. The joists are supported at each end and at the center by a supporting beam
I have tried to post a picture, but the forum keeps telling me it is a url and I should remove it.
My thought was to put 1/4" cement board (durock) on the tongue and groove, then 12" porcelain squares (rialto, from Lowe's) on the durock. I typed some number into the deflecto, and depending on how I misinterpret the questions I either get two thumbs up or two thumbs down. Will this approach work?
