we are just beginning to get our heads around 2 bathroom redos on the second and third floor. we are keeping the bathrooms in their current location. the previous owner at some point during her upgrade in the late 70′s put down about 6inches of cement under the tile flooring of just the bathroom area. this makes these rooms a step up from the hall which is awkward. I am assuming this was done, in theory, to add floor support. seems like that would make the floor itself heavier- question, if we take out the cement when we redo does that compromise anything and also i really don’t get why they put it there?
