Hi Everyone
I am taking out some hardwood in my foyer so that I can add tile instead. The house was built in the 50's and the hardwood is on top of perpendicular slats, sitting on top of 1x10 subfloor. My plan was to remove hardwood and slats and then add plywood, cement board and then tile to even out the height - however, there is electrical conduit running under the hardwood, between the slats.
Rerunning conduit will not be easy - take up the rest of the subfloor and drill through the joists (might have to double them up). The room below is finished (too bad not drop ceiling in that room).
I think the answer is NO, but is there anyway I can leave the conduit where it is and add the 3/4 plywood as subfloor right up to the conduit and then add cement board and tile over both the plywood and the conduit?
Hoping someone can save me some work - getting the house ready to host Christmas and I don't want to get coal in my stocking
Thanks
Matt
