What do I need when I put my toilet back down so it won't leak now that my toilet is 3/4 of an inch higher?
Just finished doing the same job. Home Depot for one sells a riser kit that will raise the toilet flange so it should be nearly even with the level of your new floor. Get the wax ring with the rubber funnel incorporated into the ring. Even if your flange is slightly lower it will seal fine. The most critical part is that the floor is level so that toilet sits firmly.
I know I could hire someone with a curbing machine, but it is way more expensive than I want to pay and I want to do it myself so I can customize it to my yard. I've known people who have been able to do it themselves.What tools do I need?
You will need something to shape the area. If curved, use some kind of flexible, cheap flower bed border stuff, and use boards if straight. I did my own cement work earlier this summer, and girl, make sure all your muscles are in shape! Be sure to stir it real well, then pour. I love cement!

Your pushing your board back with your feet. Try not to do this and practice. The only way to be good in skateboarding is practicing everything hard.
We have an older house (1957) that has 1 thick beams as a substrate floor. Currently, there is 1/2 plywood on top of the substrate floor. We are going to rip this up so that we can apply mortar to the substrate for leveling purposes. We would put the porcelain tile directly on top of the cement board.The guy at Home Depot (a former contractor) said we can just use 1/2 cement board directly on top of the substrate floor without a layer of plywood underneath. The substrate is old, but sturdy real-wood diagonal beams that lay on top of the joists. He said they are plenty strong and we don't really need to add a plywood subfloor if we use 1/2 thick cement board.What do you think? Do you think we could get away will laying down cement board on top of the substrate floor without plywood for added strength?Thanks!
If you have any reservations about the strength of using just the compressed cement board, why not lay that compressed cement board on top of the ply that's there now and save the hassle of ripping it up and quell those doubts. As for using a mortar for leveling purposes, why wouldn't you just use a tiling compound to rectify the levels as your tiling. After all how bad could it be, as a carpenter I'd say the guy who built the sub-floor frame couldn't have been more than a few mils out, here of there. BTW the compressed cement board will easily take the load without the ply.

how to make cement backer board for bathroom wall tiling?
the old way was using wire mesh nailed to studs and a mud (concrete type) mixture applied to the mesh. After that dries tiles can be applied. Cement board is so much easier faster and not messy compared to old way. Tile stores, hardware stores and Big box hardware stores sell the cement boards
how do i install stone veneer over cement board?
What kind of stone? Interior or exterior? If interior, what room? Is the stone rough or has it been cut to tiles? Pretty broad question. Please provide more details.
