Top Layer Deck Mud and Curb Mortar

The good folks from the John Bridge Tile Forum told us we could mud the bottom of our Hardibacker in place using our top layer of deck mud. Other sites suggested it was fine to do this with Durrock but not Hardibacker. The John Bridge folks said a properly constructed shower would not have problems mudding the Hardibacker; we kept it 1/2" above the liner.

After double-checking the weep holes with a plastic cable tie, we attached the strainer half of the drain, set it to the correct height, and poured the plastic spacers around the weep holes to keep the deck mud from clogging them. We wrapped a piece of galvanized metal lath around the curb to prepare it for the mortar.


Melissa mixed the deck mud.


We used our homemade 2X4 floats and packed in the deck mud keeping our slope proper. After letting it dry for a few hours, Melissa mixed up the mortar for the curb. Our first attempt resulted in mortar crumbling off the curb because we didn't use enough water. So we scrapped it and mixed in more water. The second time seemed better. Melissa carefully shaped the curb and although not perfect, we should be ready to start tile work in a week or so.

good job and done the correct way !

and we pride ourselves on giving DIY'ers and others proper information.

this is especially true for down here in Tampa & Orlando Florida where so many Tile Contractors do things the wrong way.

Как говорилось на Seexi.net Мда..не вдохновил товарисч Тарасенко. За 600 р (консультация) просто взглянул своим надменным взглядом ,не больше. Без лупы ...5 минут.Все. Вопросы еще есть спросил он меня высокомерно.. я даже не успела прийти в себя. Спрсила про шрамы, останутся ли, он мне ответил - естесственно будет белое пятно на месте родинки, а ВЫ как хотели..((
Но более всего удивляет то , что Тарасенко просто порекомендовал удалить большую родинку лазером + гистология.
Пришла сегодня к другому хирургу -онкологу, он вообще у виска покрутил...какой лазер типа. Это только иссечением...

Men and women body builders are all hunting for the perfect place to chat. Numerous have never reasoned being online with others who have considerable knowledge about which drugs and pills to take in order to explode with results. This is because weightlifting is a game, and with any sport you go where the fanatics are to learn about it! To hear more about Female Bodybuilding Forum

To urge the statement even more, you may be able to go and learn from a personal trainer about correct techniques but their background will be only be so overwhelming and wide. In order to discover you must go where people learn together to discover about one subject. cause a single bad raise or supplement can decay everything you have worked so hard for already. Still more so, there are very few people
and places you can go in order to converse about steroids and added drugs used in lifting.

But still if lifting weights and gaining muscle is not what you are digging for, many Weight Loss Programs are around solely for people to discover how to lose those unneeded five pounds, and with the culture of today it seems everyone is going to be larger and fatter. So no matter who you are in the end, obliging to a good diet and the right exercises can sort all the difference!

As side effect, your Balance Sheet report (either in Great Plains Advanced Financials, or in FRX or even in Microsoft Management Reporter actual for newer version Dynamics GP 2010/11.0) is not showing opening balances for the account of Balance Sheet origin and the report doesnt obviously produce correct results.
