Only one problem... your not on here as much as Angus, he has us brainwashed at gunpoint!

 

fine tech i will start pulling up a chair every night for a hour at least just to ride you and cover you with hydroban and if angus gets in the way. well I will just mastic him to the wall and cover him in spacers

 

well I will just mastic him to the wall

And I liked you Dan....:laughing:

 

ok. what is the difference between hydro BAN and hydro barrier. it seems they are almost identical according to the laticrete website.
both of them say no fabric is needed in the corners. they also say you can apply it right over drywall. not sure I want to do that but is it possibly that they adhere better to drywall then they would to say, hardie backer or cementboard?

kinda, they are both a liquid membrane

not sure I want to do that but is it possibly that they adhere better to drywall then they would to say, hardie backer or cementboard?

I know HydroBan says its good over gypsum drywall but I still do CBU

both of them say no fabric is needed in the corners.

you need the fabric in the corners with the Hydro Barrier.
HydroBan is a little thicker and doesn't shrink as much when it drys.

 

there is only a slight dif between the two i know what it is. But that is the secret with LATICRETE and i . I broke the code. I would use fabric in all corners. I get the CBU very tight. and fabric and apply the hydroban or hydrobarrier no thinset over the seams. if I so thinset the seams i use unsanded thinset so i can smooth it out and lightly sand it so not alot of build up. and brian that is a mason brush not a paint brush

 

oh angus I feel the love.........

 

bit of a PITA. turned out great tho, usually i hate this kinda stone

its great how much distributers charge so much for junk tile barely glued on to floppy mesh sheets made in 3rd world countries

 

Tilewizard - I really like the look :thumbup: Great for a country kitchen.

Nice work :thumbsup:

 

Lookin' good Wiz. :thumbsup:

 

Would have never thought that stuff would look good for a backsplash.....but that looks pretty good! Nice work

 

yeah sweet splash

 

Really nice. I like that you took it all the way around the window instead of capping at the bottom of the cabinets.

 

I noticed that detail too.....nice. :thumbup:

 

Hey TileWizard. Is that a washing machine built into the kitchen cabinetry?

 

this is the first floor washer/dryer room. it has everything but an oven and cook top. this house is unbelievable.

here is the kitchens main backslpash. i didnt bother taking a picture of the rest cause its just straight joint 6" tumbled marble

 

Your telling me the first set of pics are from a utility room. Geez! Ah what the hell, I'd do it if I had the $$$

 

wow wizzard. What would have been sweet some travertine chair rail wrapping that window. And if that is the wash room. All i have to say is someone has arm candy. And thoose clothes must dry on thier own

Cool!! What sort of brackets did you use to hold up that hunk of stone?

 

Welded 1/4 steel brackets and bolted to the interior wall cavity, then framed 2x6 around the brackets to give depth for the sink, ply, and cement board. Only $100.00 in steel but there is not deflection at all

 

Custom made brackets then? I've been looking for something off the shelf that would be practical for ADA without much luck.

 

Yeah, Custom I have a guy that can weld like a champ. I overkilled it with 1/4 steel but you could get them welded up if you don't have a welder for thirty bucks or so.

 

I stopped posting pictures of my last job because my friend made it into a video... Enjoy:clap:
