4 years ago I installed 234 sq ft of 12 x 12 tile with thin set mortar in my kitchen.
I have a 70 yr old raised house with 19 1/2" oc 2" x 9 1/2" (actual measurement) joists spanning 12 ft.
The subfloor is 3/4" x 6" wood planks laid diagonally.
Above that i nailed with a framing gun, a 3/4" T&G sub floor.
I used framing nails with glue on them.
I put the tile directly on top of that with thinset mortar.
The tile is cracked to the outline of the T&G subfloor, the cracks are exactly where the 3/4" T&G subfloor butts together. I weigh 290 lb. and occaisionally have heard the tile crack as i walked on it. What have i done wrong?
I now, want to remove the cracked tile and start over.
What shoud i do?
