We are remodeling our kitchen. We are putting wood floors in our kitchen. Our entryway leads to the kitchen. Our entryway consists of about 5 inches of cement with ugly white tile lying over it. I would like to put wood floors in our entry for a smooth, pretty transition. My husband is concerned with the architectual/structural implications of tearing out 5 inches of concrete. He appreciates the current solid construction. This isn't a large area- only 10 ft by 10 ft. Ideas?
