We've all seen the the old ditra for a shower pan trick, right? Screwed in place below the finish floor height.

Ditra as a pan that is freaking awsome 
Almost as good an idea as the one I did last December where the previous guys just put in 1/4" durock then tried to slope their tile with an abundance of thinset

Yep, the deck you can see in the picture had hardie board and travertine on it. Notice all the thinset on the plywood. And they couldn't figure why their stone cracked in a few months... This one is a "WINNER". LOL

In a $500k home in Texas? Thats outrageous!! How was that acceptable to anyone? FYI- That same home in upstate NY would be worth well over a million. Stupid NY home prices...

I finally moved 200 miles from steamboat to Junction because they were starting small town homes in the 480k range.

Just a question. I have installed tile with that crackled glass overlay before but never had to cut any . Can you cut them without getting a ruff edge ?
Just wondering if the bad grout job was poorly trying to cover up a chippy cut edge.

Tamara, those are Sonoma Tantrums, there is a trick to cutting them, Mark with a fine sharpie, run a bead of super glue over the mark, let dry a couple minutes, cut on the saw, scrape the glue off with fingernail. In that pic the grout got behind the crackled glass coating.
