    Default A great day at work.

    Ever have one of those days where everything goes well? Had one of those yesterday. Got a lot accomplished and no problems. Those are rare.

    Did a complete bathroom, floor, shower, and jacuzzi. Wonderboarded and tiled all in a days work:

    Started with this:





    Boarded up the shower by 10:00:



    And then finished up all the tile. Shower done by lunch:

    Nah, just a spec home for one of the big builders. Nothing special... Just nice to get lots done in a day without any problems. Working inside too, FTW.

    looks good. What is the process for waterproofing the shower? Poly, cement board then tile? What about the backsplash around the tub, just tile on drywall?

    Waterproofing is an option that most builders don't do unless it's a steam shower. In this case it's a regular shower so it's not necessary. It was tile onto w/board. Jacuzzi and backsplashes just straight onto drywall.
    Btw, the very first tub/shower splash I did was for my dad in 1981. 6x6 onto normal drywall. It's still standing strong today. No waterproofing, no wonderboard, not even aqua board. Not that I recomend that...it's just that in some applications it's not gonna fall apart without it.

    Hey Dave PM me your number. My parents are doing an assload of renos, and you'd be a good guy to have around.

    Thank you.
    This was a little reno I did on a 43 year old bathroom: complete gut, added laundry facility to adjoining room, re & re exterior window, all new fixtures, cabinetry and lighting, and of course, tile. Just leftover stuff from old jobs.
