I'm going to be building a tile shower ... materials should run
around $275-$325 and labor will be ...me . Sure glad I said yes when
a former employer asked if I wanted to work with the tile guy !
Have a look at this:
" ready-to-use elastomeric waterproofing membrane for both commercial
and residential tile and stone application. Suited for interior and
exterior substrates, RedGardŽ creates a continuous waterproofing
barrier with outstanding adhesion and reduces crack transmission in
tile and stone floors. It bonds directly to clean metal drains, PVC,
stainless steel and ABS drain assemblies and can be used as a
slab-on-grade moisture vapor barrier under all types of floor
coverings."

Interesting stuff , but not applicable in my case . I'm on a suspended
wood floor , and will be using a two-part shower drain flange with a vinyl
pan . Floor will be 4:1 sand/cement dampened enough to pack and bond then
tiled . Walls will be concrete backer board on the bottom 3 feet , green
board sheetrock above .
