Sorry, Neal, I gotta vote with the Gueuze on that one. If you'd been workin' for me and I saw that, you'd be buffin' out the tub the same day. Then you'd be goin' home.

sill a few weeks ago. it was custom made to follow the radius shower window wall.

been waiting for the glass guys to finish. they came out weeks ago but
cut something wrong and a few days ago finally came back to complete the glass.

thanks Matt, used the corian sill as a template and then made some adjustments
to the thicker wall distance with the kerdi and thicker tile on the walls.

okay first picture is the porch which needs some kind of waterproofing because water is going thru the t111 into the front room......next is just the hall bath and master shower...we decided no curb and have the whole floor slope to the shower and do tile base over a mud bed

serving stand

Brian,

What's up with the serving window in the shower, looks like a nice counter to
order at, get me a medium popcorn and a large fishbowl a Opie-J, throw some fries in. Nice work, quite an improvement, granite is really nice addition!

its the cheap tile from home repo its hollow...........this si why I have been sending emails to schulter for 1 weeks to try and get a response...their website says 24 hours.....they say they read this forum............well i wonder......good product but customer service for the field not so good............or i am not buddy enough with the rep of jacksonville like brain is.............


the water is leaking in under the T 111 into that room.............dont know if hydroban would do it......but it needs something there I have replace siding and was thinking of doing a tile base all the way around it...the front wall is some kind of brick and the door is on the other side alot of variables.

i love the hydroban but if it was viable id say single sheet goods would be the longest lasting upturned 6 or so inches as a flashing then tile base but,id check hydrostatic pressure wouldnt be a problem here.try eric at noble
