I think most of the leveling systems on the market won't work for what you want to do and it's the thickness of the material that is the issue.

I'm measuring one of the MLT straps and I think...

If the vinyl is stuck down good and it's truly stuck to the subfloor then you can go right over it with cement board.

Since you would be thinsetting underneath the cement board and then fastening...

That's the old mastic from back when they could put the good chemicals in it.

You just need to scrape down what you can of it. It's likely you'll scrape the mastic right off and get down to the...

If you want to center on the window the only adjustment that I would make is to put a half tile on the right side wall. So it would be half-full-half on that wall. That way the corner looks like it's...

BWF, RodKat, and RSS will all work for you. There seems to be a market for custom pans with a quick turnaround and these companies are filling that niche.

RSS works with other brands. Cornell...

If you go with #1, you'll want to add a strip of Kerdi band to overlap the fiberglass tub lip and the K-board.

You can adhere it to the tub with Kerdi fix.

I agree with Kurt on installing the wall board above the flange and Kerdi over. It used to be in Kohler's instructions to install above the flange but it looks like they've changed it.

Yep. That matters. Definitly 1 then. #1 will hit the bottom of the big window and the top of the bench?

What would happen if you shifted that whole layout to the right?

Hi Carlos, It looks like you're in a little bit of trouble right here.

Right now, that greenboard, the way it is, probably isn't going to work for whatever you want to do.

How about this- Can...

From there, you will have to play around with the...

With Acryl-pro, I don't know if that floor would be ready to walk on in 5 days, let alone 5 hours. :D

Basically, any thinset will work for that. Drywall is a pretty nice surface to stick to.

If it were me, I'd get one of the lightweight mortars just to make sure that those things stay where I put...

So, total height is 1 3/16th and your tile is, I'm assuming, a true 3/8. So you basically need to make up 13/16th + tile.

I think the way that you get there is 1/2 inch plywood underlayment and...

How you handle that corner depends on where you want to put your tile.

It's hard to know what's going on here. Is it water intrusion and it's pushing the sides out? Some other sort of movement?

The thickness would be whatever the distance is from the top subfloor to the hardwood in the adjoining room is. Then you would build your floor to hit that height.

I've used all of these with the exception of TEC and SL1 is the best but that's an opinion.

Keep in mind, Prism is a good grout but it's not in this category. It's a cementitious grout and could...

There's nothing wrong with doing it that way as long as you trust the manufacturer's data. Surprisingly, some brands don't know how much water to add to their own products.

But if you've got a...

I'm not sure why you'd be 1.5 inches too low? If it was mounted on top of the 3/4 inch subfloor then you would only be .5 inch underlayment + .375 (+/-) tile correct?

Either way, look into these...

Dewalt's are the best, IMO. However, if you really liked your Felker then you may not like the Dewalt.

Husqvarna might be more your thing.

If you have 3 pieces meeting then the corner is the easiest way of handling it. Personally, I've tried the Diablo toothed blade and don't care for it. It can grab just like any other toothed blade.
