You can buy individual planks at HD and Lowe's, but they come primed in this weird yellow color. You'll want to paint it after install with Behr or something of your choice that will match the home's exterior trim.

Did they say it's a shower?

It’s way better, siding will last 30 years or more. Fire resistant. Looks better. More expensive though.

FYI and also the toes !

Rain screen is political, not beneficial.

Rainscreen is extremely beneficial for airflow and drainage 100% but not necessary in low rainfall areas.

IKR, LOL

Agreed! My thinking exactly 👍🏻

The 4-corners meeting up pics were to show what not to do. It even says so in the video. Sounds like you have a comprehension problem.

Why? Did they say it's a shower stall?

@@fringestream990that’s a fair point. But since tile is used almost exclusively in very wet areas it is a very poor instruction that doesn’t bring it up.

redgard the edges & 4 inches along the back of the inside corners & where it meets the tub or shower pan

Do you know what hat thinset is supposed to be used? Is nice to see what to do but it helps to know what exactly to use

@@luv14lyf I believe it depends on the type of tile you will be using, most of the time it recommends it to you on the box itself, or points you to the manufacturer's website for installation instructions.

@@hardkore360 even for what goes down on the subfloor, before the hardibacker?

Okay Karen

A good friend of mine cut this stuff every day for decades with cigarette hanging out of his mouth, never once was he worried about it.

Think about everyone working the frac sand mines in Wisconsin or the oil fields is ND

whoa, thats good to know, ty!

There are, and always have been, warnings all over the place about cutting these materials without proper protection. I did my first installation of fiber cement board 20 years ago, and cut every piece while wearing a respirator - not a face mask. Beyond that. It doesn’t take much of a brain to see that the cloud of dust created by cutting fiber cement board is hazardous. It’s simple: understand the risks of any process - welding, painting, sanding - and protect yourself. There are plenty of guys who are too cool to use protective gear. Some are dead, some are missing limbs, and all of them are stupid.

Just do it.

It wasnt a bathroom. It was a corner of the dudes bedroom Hahahhaha

I did my shower 10 years ago. Im no tile guy. However, i just did cement board, pre mixed thinset the seems, waited 24 hours and then started tiling using that same pre mixed thinset. I then mixed the grout and was done. I haven’t had any issue with flaking of the grout and no tiles have popped off. Years ago they used just green board for showers. I would think a membrane could peel off and the tile doesnt adhere as well to the cement board. Between the tile, a good grout job, thorough thinset, and cement board that would make it water tight or moisture proof. …….. im not here to prove my point. Please educate me, thanks

Waterproofing with Redguard or equivalent is a must! Tile thinset sticks perfectly well to waterproofing compound. In the event grout cracks (which it does, and will), or caulk weakens and separates (which it does, and will), water will penetrate behind it. This will in turn eventually rot and mold the backerboard behind the tiles. Worse, water can seep down past the tub and affect anything down below it. Water is almost akin to air - - if there's a chance to squeeze into a space, no matter how small, it will. Always assume water will penetrate, therefore go with 100% waterproofing everything. I'm not saying anything about your work. It's great that you haven't had any problems after 10 years. But that's the exception. I wouldn't be surprised though that if you remodeled and took out the tiles, there wouldn't be some areas you see wet boards and mold. Water is simply a PEST!

He probably lost his mind in the butt joint 😂

Scotty would just stagger around drunk slurring his speech for 20 minutes then scream, "REVV UP YOUR ENGINES!" then fall down. That guy is so awesome.

😂😂😂😂

Scotty would move his hands around and we all would understand how to install siding 😂

Agreed on all counts. Hardiboard is a good product and the guy was clear as any AI bot. He imparted the info spot on. 👍
