The cement board is unlikely to behave that way.

The permit ended up costing as much as the cement.

I kick myself for once opening up a stud bay per floor of nasty cement on metal lathe for risers in units on one side of a building, when on the other side a later electrician just fished the riser up through the plumbing chase and put the panel in a much better location.

Electrical/plumbing/shower cement board & vapor barrier.....

I was curious if any of you have experience with laying it on a cement floor in a basement apartment.

The house has already had the wiring stripped out, garage door stolen, A/C stripped, and lots of other miscellaneous vandalism such as rocks through the windows, garbage dumped there by illegal contractors looking to unload carpeting, cement, etc.I hopped in my truck and drove out there.

Ripping open walls to inspect electrical, tearing up cement floors to inspect plumbing, requireing the whole building to come up to current code?

The median income as me being a dentist is stated to be 140k.

They layout consist of kitchen dinning room living room big bathroom with only a shower and one bedroom with walking closet. oh and a half of basement rest is a crawl space, which is all cemented and clean.The way the layout is you could not make the dining room a second bedroom, would have to add a hallway, I think it would chop up the house.

What's the sub floor made out of wood or cement?
