I like the idea of ceramic tile, BUT it must be porcelain tile with little or no water absorption. My brother did it with his house in PA severe cold winters, no problems. He used something like this...

I think it requires quite a big set just to operate them, plus nerves of steel help too. Just glad I'm not the guy writing the check . . . not sure I can fit that many zeros

Couldn't agree more. And if there's no water/drainage issue it could also be used for radon abatement (if that is even an issue in your area.) Cheap to put in just one side into a sump pit for future use if necessary. My brother's house had water issues until we installed 4" solid perforated...

"I saved a lot of treasures" well it's about time . . . Shame how it's cheaper to throw something out then it is to recycle it. And yes I miss those days down in Manhattan scooping up what everyone else was throwing out. Had a green Plymouth Valiant that I put a conference table on top of...

"One thing that is strange to me in our area, its common to not have any exterior sheer walls, only on the interior of the building" Seems strange to me as well, and actually seems backwards, but engineers . . . always are figuring out better ways to do things. Had an electrician friend...

"Oh yeah, March 2025 Married my Long time better half, Kids, grandkids and a group of the best friends on the Big Island." Congratulations!

"inadequate air entrainment" (ConCretin) and I would go with porcelain tile rated for outside with a DCOF (the dynamic coefficient of friction) installed over the concrete. Also for cold weather most concrete is broom finished. Watched (mostly heard) my neighbors pool concrete apron/patio...

Welcome back! you were missed

Agreed, with the floor removed you'll be able to do a much better job. Personally I would remove the existing floor, run strings from one end of the room to the other to jack them up to the correct height. Then I would add full length crowned 2x8's nailed top & bottom every 12 inches. Then...
