nice work Nick. I'm looking at the pictures and then see the Wawa Lemon Iced Tea and looked at your location. I'm from NJ and love Wawa's.
after 11 years of being in Florida they have finally opened 6 in Orlando and are opening 1 near me soon in Tampa with 7-8 to follow.

Thanks. Yours looks great. I want to try the kerdi system but my boss is cheap and doesn't like trying new things. I'm in the process of getting my own company started so hopefully will be trying it soon.

 

here's is a job we just completed in Thonotosassa, Florida.
1450 sq.ft. of Florida Tile "Berkshire" Olive 6x24 plank tile was used.
removed the carpet & old tile, floated floors and also installed all new 5" base.

Looks great! What a difference.

 

You can really tell it's winter by how much this thread has slowed down :sad:

 

Those Ceramitec guys are tough.

I can't believe you don't have a bucket with rollers on top for grouting.

And the combat boots and pants? My arsch would be dragging at the end of the day.

End product looks great.

 

thanks.

I like rollers on the bottom of the bucket. :laughing:

 

At least someone knows to replace the builder base with nice taller ones! Great looking work ceramitec!!:thumbsup:

 

That install made the tile look fantastic. Good job

 

Slowly but surely my master bath is coming along. Ledger stone tile goes great with the live cut trim!
This bay window took up an enormous amount of time!

 

Got my full cuts done today at the shop and my accent band cuts for the shower. A couple hours of cutting and loading up for tomorrow. Hopefully makes for a good day setting tile!

 

Last job for my boss before I go on my own.

 

hey Nick, I'll give you a tip before you go on your own.
try using white thinset on natural stone, not that AcryPro mastic :no:

 

Progress...

 

What is that red fabric?

What is that red fabric?

Kerdi...must be the lighting.

 

you sure? the valve gasket is kerdi orange, the fabric is red!!

 

:laughing:you have a rouge roll of kerdi?

 

you sure? the valve gasket is kerdi orange, the fabric is red!!

Yep..Sure! It was in a kerdi shower kit box...

 

Working on Designing a bar :thumbsup:

 

This is my current project, a level entry, barrier free shower. Part of a complete bathroom remodel. The original floor had three layers of plywood. The original subfloor was pieced together 1/2", which led to the decision to remove all the plywood, back to the floor joists. The original plan called for sistering to the existing floor joists, however, once the flooring was off the joists were pretty rough. Ripped them out and installed new joists (notched out 1" for level entry shower) double layer 5/8 ply, in floor heating with slc. The shower was reframed, bulkhead added, clad in CBU, Kerdi drain and mud bed. Will be waterproofed with Kerdi, then tiled.

Rip it out. That board is upside down..

 

Don't think I posted these yet......progress on my own master. All travertine cut from 18x18's and hand-chamfered....1x1 lime/marble insets w/ 1/2x1/2 glass/lime inset....been ready for grout about 6 weeks now.

Shower went quick, rest has been slow....painful. I just need one more day added to each week...between Sat and Sun would be nice.

 

Cool design..

Can you give me a little more info? Is it going to be a problem? I had heard that it was better to use the mastic on drywall. I've never worked with anyone that really knew what they were doing with tile I'm kind of self taught on it. I try to read and learn as much as possible.

Installed shower door today. The grout is Mapei Epoxy.

 

Installed shower door today.

Clean and simple. I like it.

 

I like seeing a little more contrast from tile to grout. That shower is nice.
