    Use plywood behind tile backer board?

    So I'm about to box in some pipes and tile over them - I understand that tiling directly onto ply is bad obvs - just wondered if it's advisable to box in with ply and then overboard with tile backer board or do most tilers just go with board directly?

    Underlayment Question - Backer board ok on top of felt/metal lath?

    Initially planned on a mortar bed for my underlayment. Quickly realized I should've gone with backer board instead. I already installed roofing felt and metal lath. Is it ok to install the cement board on top or should I rip out the paper/lath? Thanks in advance. -Frank
