It's been a little dead hereabouts lately, so I thought I would try and liven things up a little.

Post some pics of your current tile projects in progress. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Yes. I suggested 1/16" spacing with matching brown grout, but they went with a grey to go with the Onyx. I actually like it. As you can see, we went with a random pattern, which I also like with that tile.
You did a great job with the stagger. Tough to do with each piece 24". I'm waiting for some manufacturer to step it up and make some wood look in random lengths like they do with real hardwood.

These enclosed tiled showers take forever! So many pieces.
Nothing compared to the mud jobs the old timers used to do. Still amazes me of the amount of work it must of took to do that
There was 1 1/2 tons of concrete from this little 3x4 shower

that's a sweet subway shower srwcontracting, love that accent band :thumbsup:

here's a basic tub shower we did this week in Palm Harbor, Florida.
tile was a beveled 3x6 bisque "crackle glaze" subway tile.
with a liner, listello and char-rail cap at the top
did the Kerdi on Durock for waterproofing.

Level entry shower
What did you tape the corners with, fiberfuse? What is that preslope you used? How are going to compensate for height differences at the curb?

That will get this started.. Please tell me you flood tested that bad boy too. How did you barricade the water while testing?

I think that's it.

Is JW perma banned or can he come back? He has been active online again for the first time in a while.

Corners are taped with NA reinforcement fabric.
Slope is done with NA500 Fast Setting Patch from 1/2" durock (which sits about 1/2" higher than pan elevation) to the pan.
Water dam is created with plumbers putty to a height high enough to get 2" water test at dam.
The whole pan is also covered with 38" wide reinforcement fabric and waterproofed with 2 coats of NA1740 waterproofing before the water test.
