Awesome thanks for the great response. Is pouring a new mortar bed fairly straightforward? Toilet and sink is going to be removed and I’m not going to mess with the tub. Once I get it cleaned up I’ll post back with a "now what" post.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Watch that 2nd link I posted. You would need to install roofing felt over your subfloor (to hold in the mud than metal lathe tacked to the subfloor (to control cracking). That is not shown in that video because it is a shower install inside a shower pan.
Good luck. It can be done.

Strip down to the subfloor, then install Hardi board throughout. Thinset, tile, grout- done. You dont need to glue or thinset the Hardie down to the subfloor, just use a high quality thinset when installing the tile. Depending on the initial install, you may have a height difference from your hardwood (or other existing) floor to the new tile. Add a transition piece and you're good to go.
