No,Gueuze,your eyes are still good.Hopefully I wont get struck down from lightning.I did however squeeze some clear silicone in the wall transitions and lower joints/none in the highers and partition face.I do tape and bed w/thinset in some circumstances but ,I dunno,not all(I know....I should).

Since your eye sight is good,tell me if you can see those leave in Raimondi spacers in those 6x6 joints(and the secret message onna box!).

..more progress........

LOL, L.T. I hope you're finding them useful.

You're having way too much fun with that profile wheel.

There must be some movement in that floor. It snapped the curb right in half!! Oh it's a grout joint...never mind.

Question- how do you clean up a moisture sandwich?

Answer- with a sponge sandwich.



Sorry, I'll go away now.

Just got home from L.A., have some pics to share. Here are some close ups
of the TLS on steroids and progress pics. It started raining cats and dogs
yesterday. We knew it was coming and made some make shift covers. Worked
ok until it really started coming down. From what I understand this system
was designed by Forest Lawns and may be under patent, not sure. They have
used other systems in the past that are similar.... but have evolved into this.
All systems have allowed them to use stone for the cover panels and are
removable but apparently this system has proven to be the most accurate
and fastest. Coming from the installation end I am pretty impressed. There
were some issues, but nothing that couldn't be dealt with by the adjustments
alloted. The guys who installed the steel framing did a nice job.

One last pic of the room we are working on showing some color and a couple
examples of a similar columbarium in the area. With all due respect to those
buried there, this is to show you what direction we are heading. Our room
gets similar alcoves, statues and ogee rails.

Jack that looks like a nice change of pace from floatin walls...Is there anything in the joints or do they remain open? Is the whole thing mech. fasteners or is there any stones bonded?

All removable panels are mechanical/ungrouted. All the end caps are bonded to the
concrete walls. We are faced with about 1-1/12" of build out, so we have
taken 1/2" Hardi and thinset layers to the concrete walls. The old installer
simply used thinset, probably mixed on the stiff side. We opened one un-occupied panel in an older room to take a look at how it had been done in
the past. Voted against building thinset out that much. So, in the pic of the
finished room, the green granite trim around the door way and in the corners
is basically dot set/grouted. Our Marble alcoves will be fastened mechanically
to the concrete walls with adjustable 1/2" lag bolts. Drilled in and epoxied etc.

my showroom remodel

Took a bit of planning prior to purchasing the new location........leveled the existing building which had a prime location on the highway. Amazing what a bulldozer can do! Did trusses, radiant floor heat and lots of Ditra inside and out!
