I think you can put down 1/2" plywood on top of the K3, that is probably easier than ripping it all out. Go to the Mike Holmes Fan Forum to find out for sure.

Yeah, you can, but then the floor wont all be the same uniform heighth. Plus, by the time you add 1/2" of plywood, and then factor in your glue and grout stuff for the tiles and the heighth of the tiles, you are adding a lot. And then the dishwasher is gonna be real snug, and the built in refrigerator too.
We will have hardwood in the great room, master bedroom and dining room, tile and slate inlay in front foyer, and tile thruout kitchen and nook, guest bathroom, laundry room area, back entrance, mudroom etc, around 2400 square feet in total area, and we do want the surface all to be the same heighth.
My tile guy has recommended 3/4" plywood, maybe it depends on the type of tile you use. Mine is pretty thick and the more weight you have, the more you dont want give on your floor. That is when you get the grout popping out problems.
We are not sure yet if the K3 has been glued and stapled, most likely it is. My tile guy said they dont glue it much anymore, but the age of my house is borderline he said for when some builders glued, some stapled or screwed it down. Our friends just had to take out the K3 and they said, dust was on every surface throughout the house
