This online calculator will advise you if might have a problem laying ceramic tile or natural stone on your built up wooden floor. Here in urban NM most everything is built on a poured slab, either a monolith or perimeter footing and separately poured slab. I just never think much about whether or not tile is going to be a problem; I must have about 60% of the floors here in ceramic over concrete. Have to re-frame my mindset when I'm doing my cabin-in-the-woods.

PLUS here's the link to his tile forums http://johnbridge.com/vbulletin/index.php ... claims to be the friendliest DIY forum on the internet but I think he's only in second place, after you know who.
Looks like lots of good info there, Mountain Don. I have a tile or slate project coming up in the near future.

Fun friendly people make our site a fun friendly place, MountainDon, kinda like the looney bin, eh?
I'm off to work - like in a real job- helping to make a McDonald's in Sacramento area to feed the masses. See you all later. Everybody play nice, eh?
