  • Another good one guys, I did a 3 bathroom job about 4 months ago with the hex tiles, man what a headache they are to deal with lots of clips and patience lol

  • Perfect timing! I'm installing one this weekend. As always very informative, thank you!

  • When you said waterproof 3 feet outside the shower, that was assuming there is no shower door? If using glass shower door positioned over/near the drain the additional 3 feet is not required correct? Great video btw!

  • So you put waterproof membrane over the dry pack onto the pan and band the dry pack to the walls to waterproof the floor, walls and joints?

  • Your CC is completely off. Looks like you transcribed one that goes to another video of yours. Good tips though, so you may want to correct that for your hard of hearing audience. :)

  • Can you help me? I am doing a bathroom remodel. I have pre-sloped the majority of the two-layer plywood floor toward the shower drain (easy as the 110 year old house is completely warped.) I don't want to create an actual pan with a curb but to leave the shower open with a down-flowing shower head. I intend to tile the whole floor and walls so that any water just goes to the shower drain. I have redgard and 1/4" hardibacker. Should I put a shower pan liner and mortar in hardibacker on top of that? what should I do to accomplish this and what kind of drain should I use? Thanks

  • Great video. Answered all my dilemmas: floor fall to linear drain, waterproofing, glass profile, drain length planning !!!

  • How can I level down de plywood floor if I have  web steel joists ?

  • Do you have a video or tips for tiling the walls and accounting for the single direction slope?
