regopit Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Nice looking work comp. The last 3 Bathroom remodels I've done we used Swan Stone in the shower and around the tub. A lot of people are getting away for all of the grout lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overanalyze Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 What waterproofing system did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 duraboard, with membrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 duraboard, with membraneNever heard of that one. Was it easy to install? How was the membrane to apply? Anymore it seems like tile is almost the easy part and the detailing before is what takes time. I like the border you chose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 ya same as last shower I did 15 yrs ago, no ill effects there yet.........ya its like painting a car the better prep the better results.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 excelent job!! It's really looking great, I'm sure the wife is thrilledWas the waterproofer you applied the paint on type? I've only used those on walls in some cases but I know a few guys that swear by that for floors... like you said, a successful tile job and leak proof shower, like most things, is all in quality prep work!I've gotta mention your step ladder, I'm assuming it's the werner model 264.. I love that ladder, I own 3 of them. It is without a doubt my most used step ladder. It's super light and easy to move around, comfortable to stand on the platform and the shelf comes in handy.. it's especially a great ladder for painting. My dad, who is a painting contractor, turned me onto them. Like you, I also tape the handle otherwise eventually the aluminum turns everything black.. mostly your hands which makes a mess out of whatever your working on..

comp56 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 gets layered between thinset, as for the ladder ya it is a different brand but I'm sure it is the same... and that is not tape on handle it is a rubber type grip.....
