OK, now my carpet is cut and I can see the thickness that I have to work with. Underneath my carpet is an old wood floor. If I were to lay 1/2" thick stone or ceramic tile, do I need to lay down a backer board of some sort before I lay down thinset, use the spacers to lay the tile and then grout the edges or do I simply thinset the existing wood floor and then start laying tile? I'm kind of afraid if I have to lay a backer board down, I'm going to not have enough clearance with my exterior door and the tile....
