Thank you Sir. Your awesome!

Get some on your hands and you can immediately tell the difference when you go to get it off your hands

Thanks for doing this video. NOBODY TELLS YOU THIS STUFF! I've been doing remodeling for a while now and you'd think I would know this....smdh.

I love your work sal been watching since I was 18 now I'm 28

The real question is... can i use Canon ink for MegaTank inkjets (that comes in bottles), to fill refillable cartridges and use it for any Canon printer? Canon says "No" but are they telling the truth?

Always great content, Sal! Thank you

Where can i find that alignment tool you are using?

It actually only has to be waterproof to hold water for a water test. Besides that, it will be shedding water. The whole time it will be getting wet. Drying out getting wet drying out and repeating the process.... It's doing a little bit of both but I do agree with you........ I still think PVC liner is the best. Zero chance of wicking.

But it does shed water. Yes / no? Pre slope is a thing for a reason

Simple but very effective. Very nice Sal

As a solo guy, can you complete the whole backsplash in one day or do you have to come back a different day to grout? Does how fast you are or the materials you use determine that regardless of skill?

Are this showers expected to fail and run water through the liners/membranes? Why not just using epoxy grout for every wet area? If I have water running under my tile im the shower I'm rebuilding the whole thing.

Can’t even believe somebody would try and correct Sal. Psshhhhh

Bingo

Whats hard about doing it the better way that might not matter? You basically acknowledged that it is a better method.

😂 it matters

I still believe that all of the products used to apply these sheet membranes are not water proof and like in Europe they all should have a liquid applied waterproofing applied over top

If I have some grout left (white), can I use it without adding ANY color from a color kit? Is the grout itself gonna be consistent?

"This is not a roof" Well, what about using hot mop tar (the roofing kind) to waterproof it though. My dad (a roofing contractor) does these types of waterproofing jobs a lot.

But what about hurricane resistance 😂😂

Sal is the GOAT

Your doing it wrong. What about wind driven rain!!! Oh wait not a roof lol

That makes sense,Sal. Vapor barrier needs to be shingle style by TCNA standard.

I believe Kerdi said it doesn’t matter what order either.

The best tile installer on KZbin

I think binding and bonding happens with fiber

This bathroom is at least 50 000$. Just alone waterproofing material and labor is probably around 5000$. Master I am dying to know am I close enough?

I am just wondering you started first wall above bench and second from floor so how did the lines connect 100%? I mean I know that you can measure it but still if you were a little bit off it would show

How long did it take you?

Let’s send Sal a hole saw set!

Love your vids...Keep them coming...Thank you

Ok, if my eyes are right….thats a huge shower at 5’x10’ (ok, edited to say… might be 8’x10’) I’d almost recommend heated floors for shower that big. But Sal does great job as usual, so already know end result gonna be watertight and beautiful Cheers✌🏻 19:33 and was right, when have big shower……gotta get customers to go heated floor, if don’t, you will be cold the entire time

2:34 So glad this step was done, as the adhesive sticks so much better to itself and gives greats contact……making it one; compared to just adding to bench or wall board and sticking it on…..great job taking few extra seconds to do this👍🏻👍🏻

Kind of showing the whole shower you went from wet shimming to the screws being in and didn't show screwing the screws in in the first couple minutes. But okay, I didn't know you. Wet shimmed everything. Got it plumb and then put screws in, but you didn't show it........... A line or linear drain hooked up with a membrane system. Oh, no....... Would have been better to be hooked up to a traditional 3 piece drain. The showers have been proven to last longer. Traditionally than these membrane systems that already are leaking and have videos on KZbin showing so especially with these line. Drains hooked up with membranes and not a traditional 3 piece...... What is that a 3/8 trowel You're using and not a 1/2 inch.???........cutting inside again, lololol. ........... Nice change from the typical metal trim, love the bullsnose!......... I do like how you sealed up with thin set and silicone around the tub drain. Although nobody really knows the long-term effects of these in shower tubs, because I mean, I've seen them hooked up where the shower PAN is pieced together like you did with the membrane and nobody knows if they're gonna hold.........no silicone! Yay!.... Oh wait, you just didn't show it. You're gonna put silicone...... Very nice looking shower....... Yeah, and I do not like the look of the bottom row of the seat being on an angle because of the pitch of the shower, just looks off.

Sal in the areas where the height is more than 3/4" would it not make sense to screw in plywood or other materials so that minimum of self levelling is used?

Why not flash your kerdi on the bench as opposed to banding?

Yeah, like I said before, he is the master, I've become a much better tile man by watching the master, thank you Sal.

Just curious with mud packs. I've been doing tile showers for 30 plus years. I have done hundreds of pans and "never" used wire in my pans with zero issues. I have tore out pans that never had wire as well and they were solid. Do any of you experienced shower guys pack pans without wire?

Thanks!

I often troll for fun but Sal. Dude your tile work is second to none on the KZbin tile space. Amazingly clean and perfect.

Such a waste of labor and energy raising that tub area. Could've easily framed it in within an hour and saved your back and knees, and achieved the same result.

You're a beast, nice job.

God Bless You Sir Your a Hard Working Man! May God Continue to Bless The Work of Your Hands! Jesus Christ Loves You and Thank You For Your Videos.. im trying my hand at first big remodel...theres lots of things to learn...i feel like im never going to get it complete... its taken me long time im not fast because spine issues pain makes me make mistakes and cant focus from it its such a distraction...but i thank God I still can do what i can!

Why specifically roofing tar paper over the plywood and under the lathe? Could other material be used, like 6-12mil pvc, if its just so plywood does not suck out the moisture out of the bed? Also, is that a new apprentice or just this project help? Great video, showing how (what strategy to use) to mud-bed big shower. 👍👍👍

How much did you charge Sal? And do you always include thinset with your bid?

Whispers… Zoom, Zoom…

I have nowhere near the patience for this type of work. Cutting tile sucks and doing scroll cuts, No f’n way. Well done.
