   John, what's in the crawl that's making noise or who in the crawl are you concerned bothering?

   Do you have a dishwasher?

   Hi Calvin

    

   Could not find my thread

    

   There is a hard cermaic tile on the floor that has been there for ten years.  Underneath that is 3/4 ply and the crawl space.  The joists are insulated, However you can hear alot of bum bum when you walk in the kitchen so i was thinking that between the hard ceramic tile and the echo in the crawl space that was creating a echo of sound.

    

   Yes I have a dishwasher in the kitchen although this does nto seem to create a problem becasue its a new Boasch and is super quiet.

    

   Thanks.

   What I meant from the dishwasher was that you need to make sure laying the hardwood (if you do it over the tile) doesn't make the opening so small at the dw you cannot get it out without moving the countertop (if you lay up to it) or won't be able to get it back in if you lay under.

   An echo doesn't seem plausible to me, but you live there, not me.

   Best of luck.A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

   I plan to replace the cabinets so I don't think it will be a problem

   The echo is more of the fact that there is just open air in the crawl and it seems to me that either the joists are not set right or its not insulated well.  This is the first home I have owned with a crawl space so I am new at this. 

    

   Thanks

   If it were me, I'd spend a day with a sledge and a scraper, because I way prefer stapling my floors. But if you aren't going to, I use PL Premium (Bulldog Grip) for all my flooring that requires gluing.
   It has low odour, so it's not overpowering like PL 400, and it is alledgedly stronger.

   you need to scarify the tile to make good adhesive contact  a reel PITA    easier and better long term to demo tile and scrape thinset    sika makes a wood floor glue, stinks, but works good   still have to ruff up tile to make it stick,lottawork
