Great summary of the critical work flow thought-process for a successful installation!

[@BonBon770]

Very good video! Did you already set the bench?

Hey Sal.... What are your favorite high end bits to cut 3/8" holes in porcelain? Great work!

[@AFAliveup]

can you explain why no cement board on the curb above the vinyl linear please and what to use instead? thanks as I came after my tile guy left to find that he screwed down the hardy board over the curb above the vinyl. !!

[@hereticxxx9317]

Because you attach it with screws and it punctures the liner. You can shape lathe over the curb and use a s type mortar over it to make a curb. I believe goof proof shower systems make a pre fab curb form also. Along as he didnt embed the hardy backer into the mud bed and applies a liquid waterproofed to the curb it will likely be fine but technically it's not right.

Can you do videos on shower curbs? There is not a lot of info on the internet. Like what is your favorite material? Curb heights? How low can a curb be?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Easiest way is a curb overlay. www.noblecompanyonlinestore.com/category/13/curbs

[@cccobby]

Thanks. How would you water proof a low shower curb? You should do a video on that! There is very little info

[@Vertikala-pc5ig]

How much you charge customer for remodeling existing tile shower. Taking off old tiles and putting new ones?

[@Bergamot88]

Measure out the square footage..calculate the cost of all of the materials, and then the labour should be a bit more than the cost of materials.. like 1.5x the cost at least. Keep in mind as well whether you need to do a tear down & disposal, imagine how many days you need to be there.. what is your earnings goal per day, etc. This is typical practice where I'm from, but everywhere is different obviously
