Ceramic Tile…Day 21

Matt Sletten (see below) is hard at work preparing to install ceramic tile in the first floor bathroom, laundry, and mudroom. The first photo shows Matt attaching Durock to the shower wall above the PVL liner installed yesterday. The 9’ ceiling heights on the first floor of the “L” Shaped House make this shower feel positively cavernous.  The next photo shows one of the laundry “emergency drains” with fabric reinforcing cloth applied to the joints in the floor and walls. This photo also shows the details of the Schluter drain nicely.

The last photo shows the back end of the first floor shower surround after the successful water test last night. In the photo we see the PVC pan liner, drain assembly, and Durock cement board coming together to form the water resistant surround. Matt will pour the shower base and form the curb next.
