Home Improvement Today?

I have yet to use the board I've used the roll kerdi. For odd shapes I can see the board being easier.

 

Dem sonsabitch alcoves were sonsabitches

 

just sayin

 

Yeah , I know but none of their stock sizes worked with my layout

 

Any shots of the finished other bathroom.

 

What other bathroom ?

 

Is that one from earlier the ensuite?

 

Yeah same bathroom , I ended up working on something else while I waited for some of our marble trims to arrive .

 

Back to work yet? I've lost all motivation to work on my home and want to move far away

 

I've just lost all motivation period

 

I know that feeling. I'm spending 15 hours a week in the truck.

 

how come? they worked great in my situation. 2 - 12"x12"'s and 1 - 6"x12"

oh i see the problem... not measured in canadian...

I laid mine out so that the full rows of tile would run through with the niche trims landing on unaltered grout line elevations

Not knocking the Schluter pre made niches , just didn't work for what I wanted

 

i see. kinda like how my tiles didnt line up properly with the niches. 1/2'' lower and they would've been perfect.

 

The layout of everything is the part that makes me the most mental

 

I use wood alot to figure out layouts and space things out. Also to create a bed so glass accents are flush with the other tile. Also this tile was the hardest tile I have ever had to drill. I burnt more bits on the ada grabbers then I normally use in several installs.

 

I ripped plywood pieces to confirm my tile sizes prior to cutting the marble

 

So back to my shower project , we're going to pour and shape the mortar dry pack tomorrow for the shower base . Seeing as the shower base is 4'x8' and had to be 4" thick and faced with the reality of packing 1/3 of a yard of mortar up the stairs and the associated additional weight that would add to the floor framing , we decided to raise the subfloor which I did by first gluing down a sheet of 1" XPS styrofoam and then gluing a sheet of 3/4" plywood to that and laminating both of them to the 3/4" plywood subloor below with 2 1/2" screws



A bit of messing around but I'll be happy to pack almost 1/2 the buckets we otherwise would have tommorow

 

Are you using a shower pan liner?

 

The whole shower is done with kerdi like a shower pan liner but much much better
