Had an Ad pop up half way through Bob , just FYi . Thanks for the video series and spot on with the price estamates at the end . I was thinking the same thing .
Wow so Google knows how to get into my RUclips channel even though I disabled ads...that sucks 🤦🏻 But yeah the price that I charged even included the Travel and hotel stay for 6 days so it was still a little on the low side
Ahh, you're killing me! Thats the exact drain I'm putting in, and you didn't show how to get it aligned with the tile nice and flush. That's my single biggest fear of tackling one of these projects myself!
Hey Bob, I wish I was able to get my shower done this quick, it's been 4 years and I'm still showering outside in the Adirondack mountains. Hopefully I'll catch your next live stream and update you on my progress and thanks for your help.
I don't know I have watched a lot of the videos how to put in showers and all the ones I have done have never leaked. Also, how can the Kerdi Membrane be tightened especially in a shower of that size when it is floating like that and don't you think it will leak in the seem because it was joined with liquid membrane and could it crack in that spot?
The perimeter of the Kerdi is anchored at the top of the blocking and that's all it needs, the 300 lb of mortar will keep the rest of it in place and tightens up everything. The overlap is used with thinset as per instructed but I don't feel that thinset is waterproof and that's why I overlap it with a liquid topical membrane ..basically a layer of rubber and rubber does not degrade. But besides all of that the mortar will never see any moisture because I waterproof the surface of the motar bed.
It is and that's why I mentioned it on the video but I did not have a choice in the matter... plus the entirety of that shower was done with mastic anyway
I’m sorry but that’s all wrong mixing systems ,wrong drain also in all your video’s you say water will not get behind the tile blah blah blah well sorry to say water gets behind your tile because grout leaks water . So not using dam corners on pan liners mixing systems you are bound to have problems . All my opinion
I mix material all the time when I feel is appropriate, ultimately I'm responsible for my own work and responsible for my own warranty. Companies who advocate for proprietary material it's not my thing, sorry about that. As to the drain I'm not sure what you mean by that, I use the drain that I wanted to use. And yes a small amount of water will get in grout and will evaporate, more comfortable with that than the entire mortar bed wet constantly. After 24 years without any problems, it's doubtful I'll have any in the future, but opinion noted ✅️ 😉
Awesome job. Great problem solving and tied back in really well. I really like the floor tile !
Thank you sir, I appreciate that

Great job. It looks fantastic!
I am very confused by the left and right shower area. It defies logic. Do they shower side by side at the same time?
Your a good man. Your prices are great, Your workmanship is the best. Great video. All videos help, I might do my own in a few years.
Thanks 👍...yes, you can do it 💪🏻

The tile up against the drain are cut individually, it is not a fast process but doable, take time 👌🏻
You have to be very Fussy @StarrTile

Well at least spring and summer is on its way.... you'll make progress when you make it a priority🤣

Kerdi membrane is not meant to be used as a shower pan liner.
Right... and I use it for THAT purpose a few times a year for 20 years...keeps water out nicely 👌🏻 😀
I thought Mastic in a shower was a “No-No”?
It is and that's why I mentioned it on the video but I did not have a choice in the matter... plus the entirety of that shower was done with mastic anyway
How dare you making showers wich last 25 years when industry standard is 5 years? You ruining the Economy.
Bahahahahahaha 🤣
