I am wanting to tile over a 3/4 inch tongue and grove subfloor laid on 14 inch centered joists.
  1. Is it strong enouph or should I put down plywood on top?
  2. How should I prime the wooden surface before putting down adhesive?
  3. What is the minimum slope/fall for a bath drain pipe?
Thanks Doug on
 
Wouldn't advise tiling straight onto floorboards probably best to go over the top with 12mm backerboards screwed at 150mm centres. Run the backerboard the opposite way to the t+g. Then use a suitable flexible adhesive. Not sure about the fall in the waste I'm not plumber. Backerboard shouldn't need priming prior to fixing the tiles.
