Well, even if my reading comprehension isn't so good, I still like the shower.

your not making it wet enough then.
the felt on the Strata_Mat absorbs the loose thinset better.

The wood looking tile seems to be getting popular. I see a lot on here and I'm on my second in a months time...
Also starting some undermounts today. Been forever as most people get solid tops these days.

Donnie, no the 253 works well, floor was nice and flat, and with back buttering the tile and using the seam clips, I'll have no worries.

That's the smallest bag of 253 I've ever seen.
Nice work.

It was two little slivers there or six in the other portion, I opted for the two there, plus when the quarter round goes in it won't be as noticeable.
