I wouldn't hesitate to have them tear it out and start over. Showers built like this might last for years before showing a problem but so many times they last only a couple years or less. I replaced...

A 32 inch shower is pretty small. If there's any way to add a few inches, I'm sure your MIL would appreciate it.

Dani, at this point you know more about installing a shower correctly than your installer. It's not your fault, he should know everything we've talked about. I believe Dave Gobis is the one that said...

I can see the pics fine but don't like what I see. I'll echo what Cx said. There's no way I would let them set tile on what you have there. I'd put a halt to this shower.

Since the tiles are mosaics, use the 1/4 x 1/4 notch. If the tiles were say 12x12 or 16 x 16, then I'd lean towards the 3/8 notch.

Hi Jeff. You definitely want the perimeter of your shower level but lets get a couple things clear first.
1. Are you still building a Kerdi shower?
2. What type of drain do you have?

Hi Scott. 5 to 1 mix is what we've used for as long as I can remember. It's easy to work with and will get plenty hard. Don't expect it to get as hard as your driveway because it won't. But, your...

Back in posts 32 and 33 he shows the studs notched. Not sure if the studs at the curb are notched enough for the folds.

I agree that it's best to have large pieces of cement board on the lower...
