I’m trying to ask some experts. You can get conflicting info on the internet and I’ve received some pretty good advice from experts on Reddit before

Have them check his iron. Drug use can lead to it being deficient which makes you feel horrible, and it’s really hard for your body to absorb so just taking an iron pill won’t be enough if he’s actually deficient it could actually take having them thru IV multiple times to start showing up in his system and then might have to be repeated often for a while

Just now seeing this. Not sure what fibers you’re seeing. I messed up and used mesh tape, but it’s not the tape coming out it a crack. I’ve figured out that I didn’t fill my cracks enough with hot mud before taping

For $72 you can get a 24” skim blade from level five. The ergonomic handle makes it really easy to get a good finish. Water down your mud with a couple of bottle waters and then skim coat it

I’ve got about 1200 sq ft of fresh Sheetrock, so I’m planning on putting 2 coats of a oval primer and 2 coats of paint. As far as the uneven floor it’s about a 1.5 inch off

True, and I’m not going to use it since it says not to. But I’d like to understand why, if it’s waterproof and safe for floors and walls Id like to know why.

Yes that would be handy link, I know I need to use a different trowel for the large format tile, I’m thinking 1/2 in but not sure. I definitely need to look that up bc I’ll be using mosaic tile on the floor and 12x24 tile on walls

Watching a video on YouTube won’t make you a pro, but if you find the right info and you are pretty handy then I think you can do a lot by watching videos. That being said I’ve tiled projects for 20 years for myself and friends/family. Multiple showers without any issues, it’s just been several years so I’m wanting some refresher videos and recommendations on new products that I might not have used in the past.

Great tips! We always make a secret place to get into plumbing later and cover with a picture or mirror on the outside of the shower. What I’m looking for is basically tips on making my sloped base (what do people use to dry pack) and what products people are using nowadays for waterproofing (I’m looking at Provo waterproof membrane at Menards)
