    This is where it gets fun, wanted to build a roman tub with a shower but the toilet was too close, making it a tiny tub. So I cut the floor up and moved the toilet over 19" to make room for tub for 2...20131022_211200.jpg

    Next was waterproofing, Red Guard is incredible!!! I did the shower in 3 coats and the tub in 4 coats. I also laid 4" wide fiberglass strips in the seams of the tub into the red guard. I wanted to over build it because it has to hold lots of water...20130810_114004.jpg

    Awesome. Did you do anything different with the tile in the tub, to seal further or give it a little grip on it.
