So I bacially come in and camp out and get it done.When i know i cant do it I make a call.. And help is hard to find at least help that can show up at the rite time and keep up without smoking 12 cartons of cigs a day.

First time on a few things
1. using quartzlock on polished marble......What a pain to clean!
2. Wedi Shower pan with the channel drain! Liked it just not with he stone chosen...didn't think it worked with the marble.
3. And the stone floor... took a lot more grout than anticipated

Things to account for next time!

Like the corner shelves...guessing I need a router to bullnose the edges and make myself?

 

Hey Steve looks real sharp:thumbup: I love that shower floor and the channel drain!



Dave

 

nice work man awesome.. Yeah them stone floors it seems as if ya need 12 yards of grout for them.

 

What the heck are all you Florida monkeys doing over here? Opie, is it true you finally got your ass banned from JB? I've been busy and havent spent much time over there to see all the carnage.

Oh, and stop quoting Billy Joel songs.

"You may be right, I may be crazy. But I just might be the lunatic you're looking for."

 

yeah I got banned............

 

a little bit a liquid in my life.......prepped out a shower..........and still slowly chuggin along on the stone floor. So on monday i get to leak test it.

 

Tub/Tile job I am working on right now

 

Jarvis, you do some really neato niches :clap:

 

Thanks brother!!

 

Yep, nice work! Is that 3x6 travertine?

 

its 3x6 crema nova marble

 

Love that niche Jarvis.

 

Opie - Curious to know how you applied the Hydroban - brush, roller ? How many coats ?

What's the board on the walls ?

Just about got this job wrapped up today. This is Redguard - 1 primer coat 4/1 water and 2 addl coats applied with a 1/2" x 6 " roller.

Maybe I'll give the Hydroban a try next job.

That looks like Hydro Barrier, not Hydro Ban.

 

Thanks for that correction and info. Hydroban is not a pan liner.

Same questions though...

 

Hydroban can be used as a pan liner. It is a surface applied waterproofing membrane.

 

its hydrobarrier. I rolled it on with a 3/8 nap roller and applied 4 coats. I used mesh in the corners as recomended by laticrete. Hydro barrier can be used as a pan application. It is the sister product of Hydroban.

I did water tests today and no leak. I dumped in 12 gallons of waters of let it sit for 9 hours. It doesnt leak. I just wish laticrete would come out with a drain. I feel like i am vandilizing my shower with a schulter drain.

 

Kerdi-Drain is the best thing to happen to showers since thinset. :thumbup:

 

totaly agrreee angus......but wish laticrete would come out with something far out.. The drains ar 85 bucks. In all reality if ya change the drain and buy the pan you are at about 65 bucks . So its not much more for the drain the do a easier pan with less mudd.....

 

I haven't bought the drain separately. I can get the full 4x4 kit for under $350.

 

From a long time ago. This is my house.

 

That's a mantel!

 

We purchased this piano just because we thought it looked cool and we didnt have a lot of furniture. That was 20 years ago. First child took lessons 10 years later and it played like crap. Someone suggested I turn it into a bar. I was not a big drinker, so I thought a fireplace might be cool. Had to search for a while to find a unit that fit well. Farted around for a year between taking the piano apart, hooking up gas and electric, inserting unit, and doing the tile.
