Shower tile completed after much time and effort.
Well this has been a long process, I am very pleased with the end result which has saved a lot of money over buying another prefab shower kit, tile is better in the long run and will last longer than fiberglass or plastic shower kits. The porcelain tile was on clearance at $1.11 per square foot, I already had the thinset cement from a job I did at my other house.
Shower rebuild in guest house
Well I have not posted in weeks, because the shower rebuild is taking longer than I wanted, I had to get more cement board and I needed “Red guard” to protect the walls, Cement was poured onto the rubber liner, The sub-floor below the liner is 2 sheets of 1/2″ plywood, plus 1″ tapered cement that is tapered to about 5/8″ to the drain that said I just now started to tile, once it gets finished I will make another post with the finished look, I’ve also replaced a window and some other repairs, hopefully in another week the guest house shower will be finished.
You really have to like the improvements with tile, so many choices compared to what they offered 20 years ago, or go back and look at the 1950’s tile when they really used 4″ square tiles as the norm. not to mention the chicken wire and cement they had to deal with. Now it’s cement board nice and flat and strong.
