No

We call water application board greenboard, not cement board for inside water spaces.

Have you looked at youtubes for anchoring into adobe? Might be useful

You may find that the big tiles are too heavy. Glass mosaic tile is very small and easier to work with. Use weight as the indicator

JD had to remove the tiles to get at the plumbing so he can install the pipes from above so he has access for repairs in the future also so that he can move the placement of the sink and shower and to make repairs to the top of the walls where the water damage eroded the wall tops. He is recycling/reusing everything he can so it wasn't an easy choice for him to break them all up, but the way they were put on made it impossible to save them. I've been watching since the beginning, so far I am very impressed. He is a very smart man and knows his stuff, although learning new ways to repair old structures he knows enough to understand what information is valid or not. He as many skills and talents we could all learn a lot from his 'Whales' of knowledge.

thats smart, i'll try that...if feels cross-threaded but maybe that will work

yep, they're galvanized steel and already past their life expectancy, the parts I've taken out already were pretty corroded on the inside

@ we’ve renovated a old apartment for a client and he insisted in keeping old plumbing pipes with new heater and boiler. We’ve informed him multiple times that it will clog the new heater and he just said he doesn’t care. To be called 2 weeks later that water does not work and to end up replacing all pipes with visible ones on the wall because of it. (Which look awful) Do it right the first time.

some people never listen and just have to find out the hard way

oh wow, this one was a lot lighter than I was expecting luckily

I thought about that but I think it would be better to have the other room separate as a closet so it doesnt get too humid from the shower

The sand down from the tub isn't for insulation. Is to sit the tub on the sand. Here in Greece, we have the same system as Portuguese do for the tubs, also the sifona on the floor for the gray water. Except the toilet of course, don't goes in the same sifon.

@christinamirkovic3857 The tub we removed has feet, so it doesn't need to sit on anything. We used it outside to cool off in the summer and watered the garden from it as well.

Thanks!

I put the toilet back when im not actively demo-ing, and take showers at the gym
