Here is another project where Kerdi board amazed me once again with it's flexibility, easiness and simplicity to tackle any complicated to tile areas.
I want to Thank Joey Miles from Schluter for the great ideas and all the tips.

Nice custom made tiles Obie.

The design in the flowered tiles reminds me of this flower.

Great work everyone!

I've been out-of-town for a week and it's fun to sit here and go over 4 pages of projects.

Wow Dobri, Thats a ton of work even with The Kerdi board. I've played around with enough of that to say that Wedi is Far superior and faster! Ever tried it?
It's far more rigid and no extra step with the Kerdi band, which it think adds too much time! Emser tile here is selling the 1/2 Wedi (3' x 5') for 38 bucks a sheet so it's far less expensive. If you can find I locally, give it a shot. I always keep a sheet and their Sika adhesive handy, ( it's like Kerdi fix) try out on a custom Niche, even with different backers it is sooo fast!

Just my two pennies! Awesome work

Nice work guys. Pete, that floor is insane! Well done. Neil, just wow. I'm sure you'll be happy to be done with that thing.

Just finished up a glass and marble shower. Fru-fru.

That's some fine elegant work. Especially after coming off 0100 6x6 lol.
That concrete tile is some pretty cool stuff. I was watching how they make it videos on YT.
Just wow.

Neil,
I think you can take a nice vacation after finishing that.
80 hours of cutting ... whoa. That pattern takes the cake I think.
Awesome work. Just awesome.

hey JT,
can I come work with you? I havent made anywhere close to that on any shower in a long time.
and I just did a white subway shower with a seat.


Dobri holy cow that is a monster ! nice Job. Where is the access panel for the Tub?

Jim welcome back. Still no rain .. best Summer ever


Thanks Roger!
Thats a lot of glass pencils and a great job you did with that.
Did you find a lot of them crooked on the sheets? I do on almost every glass mosic , it's
a real pain.

That mosaic floor was insane, I can tell you this for sure, because I designed it myself LOL. It started out with many colors.
I started a thread asking for help before I began that thing...
look and see how it came to be, from a rough sketch to grouted.

Mosaic Artists I need advice please

Hey Neil,
I wanted to ask you, where and how do you determine where to snap your lines with a pattern like that?

Do you just choose an x edge on one tile and y edge on an adjoining tile? I am way curios about that...

I need to know more about theis Houston method w/ greenskin shower.

Love the cement tiles, wish we had the climate here for them.

Roger- sweet.

Dobri- want to know more about your fastner free wall installs. 1/2" board or thicker? Approved by who? Your rep or the company?

Who'd I miss? Good work.

The Greenskin is applied over the drypack that had been primed. Tech support told me to add a liquid membrane (I used some in stock Hydroban) in the shower area and window sill as belt and suspenders. The section of Greenskin missing from the wall is where the plumber needs to move some pipes.
