Doug-
Thanks for your reply. I am at somewhat of a loss now, because i have gotten different info from different folks. The guy in the local paper said it would be no problem if I patched the hole, topped with 1/2" hardiboard and then with tile. Now you say that is not a good idea. Did you know I was planning on using the hardiboard? I have taken your advice and made another post. What should be my next step? Still aiming to start this weekend, but want to make sure I have all the best info before I start. If I can't do tile, then so be it, but I still have to patch this hole in my floor and put down a new wax ring in the toilet. Since you don't recommend replacing the whole floor, how much is too much? Can I do half the room so that my new subfloor rests over two joists and up to the wall? This is a 5x8 bathroom including the tub, which I am planning on leaving in place. Thanks.
