I hope you put 3 coats of sealer on that... :laughing:

 

put it in a 5 gallon bucket and dump it on! lol. actually its the man made stone stuff

 

The one I did was slate.

 

Busy week this week - lots of odds and sodds.

Grouted the niche finally with the side lit shelf.

Trying to figure out how to finish this floating bench.

Working on testing my Hydro Ban drain.

Some manufactured stone.....nice change of pace.

 

Why is the foundation coated with red paint below the stone? Is that Denshield and redguard up above the new work?

I wonder how hard this bench will set up with just a few self tapping screws and tie wire as a reinforcement system for a bag of Mapecem Fast Setting Pre-Mixed Screed Mortar?

I put about half my weight on the wire prior to forming the bottom with some scrap poly and drywall off cuts. A little more work and this bench will be ready for tile.

I really want to do one of those shelves. Have you created install instructions on those yet?

 

Seeing John's "propped up with what's lying around pic" reminded me of this one ... Some days we literally could only do 2 tiles in this massive shower with 3 large niches. I didn't design this thing ... Just had to build the bugger ;-)

 

Finished article ... Big enough for a Shetland pony

 

Killer shower Bonzai. Did you need to frame in a new header above all those niches or was that just a partion wall?

Its Redguard,not paint.Stone isnt to the bottom yet

Is that Denshield and redguard up above the new work?

No,its DuRock NextGen and see above answer. Stone will go up there also.

That seems like a hard way to do it. Granted, you could get a 700 lb guy on there with no problem. But why not just regular framing since it could be attached to each adjacent wall?

Nice stone work Evan. It is nice do that every now and again. Wouldn't want to do that everyday though.

 

We haven't put the required coats on the top area yet.

Cause you got nothin.

Bare in mind I don't know my mouth from my arsehole when it comes to exterior finishing but my basic knowledge tells me in Ontario that wouldn't fly. Exterior finishing have to breath, if you want a water tight finish like stucco you have to put foam with vented channels on first.

 

And if I'm not mistaken you install electrical systems, low voltage systems, wiring and the lot?

Maybe you can help Craig with the finer points of home renovations. If I tell him, he won't listen.

The damage pic I was trying to upload...

 

This is a small section of the front of the house. The other 3 sides of the foundation are above grade. House breathes just fine.

If I tell him, he won't listen.

Stop being a plumber and become a renovator and i might.

Kitchen tile job Springboro, Ohio.

 

Screws? Ha! I only use galvanized 1/2"x8" lag bolts with double the washers and nuts tightened one on top of the other until I run out of thread...

 

Holding steady at 400 lbs.

 

Installed some under cabinet lighting in this bathroom.

Used a brass flat panel strip for a Heat Sink and just double sided tape to install.

Keep the LED strip back 6" from the face of the drawers.

Cool idea. May use that one for my own master.

 

Why do you need a heat sink with leds?

I believe it's so they last longer and don't over heat.

Some Mapeband and reinforcing fabric in the floating bench today

Installed a 3/4" L bracket as a heat sink for this cabinet on the same job

You can see the light through the window

Same warm led lights for kick and electric mirror install. I'm loving this FibaFuse drywall paperless tape
