Perfect!

Yes, my house is old. The floor started with 1x6 subfloor, then 3/4" hardwood floors, then 1" Saltillo tiles. The tile was removed as it was really old and worn. I removed the hardwood flooring because it had some damage & unsightly repairs, then I removed some of the 1x6 subfloor that had some rot. I replaced with new 1x6 subfloor, now installing 3/4" plywood. Lastly (after cabinets are installed) I will be installing 12x12 Saltillo Tiles (trying to keep the Spanish theme). This is for the kitchen and laundry room only.

Thanks for all the advice.
