Finished a guesthouse tile project today in South Tampa, Florida
Tore out the plumbers pan liner that leaked and failed inspection 2 times. Did a HydroBan waterproofed shower with a divot and Ebbe Satin nickel drain. Used a 4x12 Maple Leaf "sterling gray" matte subway tile on the shower walls, mixed mosaic 2x2 shower floor, 6x36 Unicom Starker "timeless fossil" plank tile on a bathroom floor (used the MLT System since these were a little cupped and it help make them flat) and a 6x24 Petrified Hickory Fossil plank tile installation on the main room floor.

Yes, it looks great, Brian. I couldn't help but think about how much time and materials that plumber had to try to get that liner to test. All for nothing...

Yeah they wasted 2 liners.

the first failed instantly because it leaked at the drain and wet out under the front curb onto the slab.

the second one failed again because they didn't have it ran up and over the seat. then they passed on the 3rd attempt.

but when I ripped it out to do my HydroBan the pro-slope was soaked more from another leak.

The homeowner wasn't too happy at the plumber to say the least.

Brian,
Were you going to do the tile install after this liner was installed?

Did the plumber put any thought into how the seat would get covered with tile board and not puncture his beautiful liner installation?

Plumbers don't understand tile and waterproofing!

no, I had her scheduled and the homeowner and builder needed a plumbing inspection first on the pan and pipes in wall before the drywall or cbu could be installed. So they had the plumber do a pan as to not hold it up and would wait for me to do MY shower. But they failed 2 times even though it was coming out when I started.

some fun with travertine. The medallion is not perfect, but IMO that makes it obviously hand crafted on site.http://www.johnbridge.com/vbulletin/...1&d=1411926932

Yeah they did. The husband was at the condo when we were doing it but the wife wasn't. She got there this morning and he said she went into the bathroom and yelled..."WOW!". lol
