Great, I'll take a look at it!

Wishing you all lots of success! I have just laid tiles for the first time in my life. I really enjoy doing things like that. However, only in the basement in my laundry room, the result is okay for us, any professional tiler would run away screaming^^. In the basement, however, we have screed, so the floor's firmness was not an issue. In the spring, the ground floor will be gutted and screed poured, the wooden beams will be removed. And we will also bring back our tiler because we want tiles over the underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor, and I don’t trust myself to do that – especially now that I’ve seen in the basement that there is quite a lot to consider, and in the living area, I want it to be professional quality, especially since I’m eyeing a herringbone pattern (wood-look tiles). Otherwise, we have also done a lot ourselves so far (built in 1921).

Wood always gives way and expands with temperature, so I would go with "concrete". There are leveling compounds for every build-up height (e.g. from Uzin), but they are not cheap.
