I am in the process of remodeling a bathroom and wanted to double check my thinking on something. The flange and waste pipe are in good shape (all lead). Right now there is about 1 1/4" between the subfloor and the underside of the flange. I've already determined that the subfloor should have another sheet of plywood over it before I put down cement board for tile. I'm thinking a 1/4" sheet of plywood, 1/2" sheet of cement board and then 1/4" thick tiles. This equals total of 1" thickness. I figure the thin set mortar that goes between the new subfloor and the cement board and then the thin set mortar that goes between the cement board and tile should add another 1/4", which should then equal up to the 1 1/4" height I need to get the tile right under the flange. I plan on using a 1/4" notch trowel for the mortar. In theory, does my logic sound OK? I guess I'm worried that the mortar will actually increase the height by more than a 1/4".
