Again, the idiots that built my house thought it was a good subfloor. Go

And still do. Builder's use it for one main reason ... it's cheaper than
alternative products.

Yes, but they put it under slate in the entry way. So it's all cracking.
I already partially repaired it once b4, it's still continuing, so at
some time I will lift and replace the whole area and figure what we'll
put down after. If tile or stone I'll use cement board.. but I am about
to do my kitchen floor, removing the subfloor and putting cement board
down there.

The wife does not want to upgrade the kitchen, only the floor, which I
think is a mistake... might as well do it all, but SWMBO rules... a
happy wife.....
