I plan at this point to use 1 1/8" subfloor; the thickness of the present floor. In terms of the top layment, I removed particle board which I believe was 1/4 to 3/8" and instead of using particle board again, I talked to a HD person who recommended the 1/4 to 3/8" plywood. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that instead of using the 1 1/8" subfloor, use two layers of 3/4" (which I think would be OK in terms of height....very close. Then install your underlayment (top floor) at 1/2"?

I will plan on installing a 2x4 and screw into the back floor along the seam, so the new piece has an area to attach to.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BR-Remodel-23296296 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:59:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BR-Remodel-23294713
And I'd re-think the 1/4" plywood idea - most tile installers I know, won't use anything less then 1/2" when building up a subfloor; with the ideal being 1 1/4" of wood (two layers of 3/4" ply, laid in opposite directions, glued and screwed, apparently being damn near perfection.)

The framing looks somewhere between OK and overkill - depending on where you're at, joist hangers may be needed for code compliance... I woul look at adding some nailing edges along the cut sections of subfloor - don't want movement at the joints.
