No, you don’t walk at all. It’s would be to your right if you are standing at the sink. It’s just not directly next to it - it’s on a perpendicular wall the other side of a blind base cabinet

It will be, just not DIRECTLY beside it because it’s a U shape kitchen, and the sink sits in the middle of a 110” wall. There will be 60” sink base, blind corner cabinets on either side of that, then the dishwasher is the next thing to the right of the sink. I just don’t...

Hey guys, I'm remodeling my kitchen and need some help with relocating my dishwasher and running the water and drain lines. The previous owner ran the water line under the floor (you'll see the line that was cut where the valve was for that) and the drain back through the floor. I'm moving the...

It didn’t melt it.. great. Ok, so can I continue to remove the tile and then use that product to remove the mastic or is too dangerous to even continue with anything?

OK, thanks. I'll probably be doing some stuff this weekend and will come back to post a reply. Some of the remaining materials (that's not the black mastic or whatever) is very difficult to get up..

Yea, I understand. Thanks for the help! Do you think I'm ok to still try and scrape/bust up the remaining thinset material that's on the floor and just avoid the black stuff for now? I'll do that water test this afternoon when I get home

So if it bubbles up then I need to order that Mast Away product to remove any of the mastic? There's not a lot of that there, it's mainly the remnants of and a thin layer of the thinset or whatever. Did you see the photos I uploaded?

What would happen if I just got it as clean as I could with scraping, it still had some remnants on it (but got rid of all the significant higher spots) and put down the underlayment for the laminate floor? Or even put a thin plywood down first?

It was crooked, had some high spots, and wasn't the color I wanted...

Most of that seems to be directed at concrete instead of wood. But they mention patching or covering with a cement product, which was my original thought

I hope one will see this thread and help me come up with something!!

There's a black, tar like substance that's covering a lot of the area that's not coming up. Some parts come up easier than others, but I wasn't getting super aggressive with it because I didn't know if I needed to get ALL of it up.. I hadn't thought about totally removing the floor, but that...

I haven't tried - I'm currently at work. FYI this is a LOW BUDGET renovation so I'm not going to be able to do anything crazy!

I just bought a house a couple weeks ago that was built in 1965. I'm remodeling the kitchen by myself and wanted to replace the tile floor. When I pulled it up, I noticed that the original hardwood floors were under the tile. It appears that the current tile floor was installed after removing a...
