Installing tile, PLEASE HELP ME!!
We have a carpeted master bathroom. I know I know... builders here are dumb. Anyway, my children poured water all over the carpet at some point in the day a few days ago. Didn't know about it. Then it started to smell. Couldn't pinpoint the smell just that it was in our bathroom/closets area. Finally got down on my hands and knees and realized it was the carpet! It was dry, hubs pulled it up, and padding was soaked and a wretched smell was coming from it. We have been meaning to tile since we built the house 4 years ago, just haven't done it. well, now is the time. We aren't financially in a position to pay someone so we are DIYing it. Cost me $200 total for all materials opposed to the $1200 quotes I was getting. Anyway, I'm reading conflicting things and wana know if anyone has put tile on plywood before? Some DIY videos say you need a backerboard, some are saying to do a poly seal on the plywood first... any suggestions? I don't want to raise the floor any more... I want it to be flush with the carpet into our bedroom. So I'm really hoping I can just pour a poly sealant and be done with it.

Re: Installing tile, PLEASE HELP ME!!
I have no experience with this project, but I do know if the carpet and tile are not flush, you can buy a strip of metal specifically used to affix to the floor where tile and carpet meet. It makes it a smooth transition.
