Yep, last the seller knew, something in the rear end was broke. If it digs, it’s for me! If it’s too much a bear, it might end up as a plow truck bed or Allis Chalmers attachment... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would be about where most contractors would leave this job site & move on to start another job. Knowing this, it might be a good time to break off now and start on a project. Something tells me there are two ladies who will give Kevin some guidance toward the next project. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #254 Posted January 1, 2020 I finished all the drawers in the vanity the other day, now I’m working on grout. It’s so time consuming on the walls compared to the floor! 2 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,177 #258 Posted January 5, 2020 @pullstart That appears to be a whirlpool tub, I think I see 1 jet to the left of the waste & overflow. Just remember when you get all excited to use it for the first time don't use bubble bath, don't ask me how i know, 40 years ago it started heading for the door and out into the hall. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LMFAO.....I remeber when I had a call back when I was doing service in T.O. a east Indian family, installed a dishwasher, they used dish soap.......kitchen filled with suds. And oh yes I charged them the double bubble rate cuz I was late going with the girlfreind to a Rush concert. Really dish soap, lmao! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,916 #261 Posted January 7, 2020 My grout lines are all finished! I am going to wet sand the whole thing to help cut any excess glazing on the tiles, dehumidify the room and start on sealing the grout! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,916 #266 Posted January 8, 2020 It’s time for grout sealer! I have the entire bathroom empty except for necessities and all the tile is scrubbed, swept and vacuumed! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #267 Posted January 9, 2020 I used liquid nails to adhere some cement board to the drain cover. I’ll clean the squeeze out up and wait another day for it to fully harden, it’ll get the Redgard treatment. I’ll verify the drain weep hole is clear and open, then install the river rock.

Pullstart 62,916 #268 Posted January 9, 2020 I have a good coat on every wall grout line and two coats rolled on to the shower floor so far. This has the texture and smell of mineral spirits and seems to last a very long time. The guy at the store said my tiles should be sealed too, so the entire bathroom will get a rolled on coat too. I have three bottles and have used maybe half of one so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,508 #270 Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) I used an epoxy additive in my grout that sealed the grout. No sealer needed. Did the floor though anyways just to be safe Edited January 9, 2020 by 19richie66 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,916 #272 Posted January 13, 2020 Maybe people know this, maybe I’m the only one that was in the dark. 100% silicone is a killer to get right! I found a video where the guy put the silicone into his joint, then spritzed the area with NON-AMMONIA glass cleaner, then proceeded to wipe with a glass cleaner wetted finger. What a difference this trick makes! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a difference this trick makes! I've read that before, but never actually tried it. Good to know it works! Your bathroom is really pulling together super well. I made the mistake of showing my wife your almost finished product and now that's on the to-do list. Also, there is a package headed your way. Should be there Thursday or Friday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry about your to do list... just remind her the commitment to loose a master bath for at least a year and a half according to my calculations, maybe she’ll not be so demanding?

It's multipurpose, can use it on anything that moves really. Bad news is, Alex doesn't always have the same timeline that the rest of the world does. She likes to think construction happens the same way Amazon Prime or the house flipper shows work...3 days and you're all done remodeling this 10k sq/ft home with all new everything. Now she gets told everything takes 2-3 times longer then it actually should so when it's done earlier then expected it's a pleasant surprise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
