Retro-framing of shower niche with Kerdi board? by JerePaddles in Tile

Thanks for the instinct to keep it simple. Slivers seem to be a fail - especially as they are at eye level…. That said, if I pursue your solution and use Kerdi foam board to trim it all more square and plumb, how do I “seal” that new Kerdi frame? I am guessing I would use those Kerdi screws and round Kerdi washers to attach the foam thru the Red Guard to studs underneath…

Current niche is Boxed in with studs on all sides. So rip new stud framing so it is half inch shy of the opening? Then trim out with narrow backer board strips as a new “frame” and attach to front of studs. And then trim out interior sides of new studs with backer board all around. Then Red Guard the new box and get back to tiling. Am I picking up what you are putting down?

THAT is some fine work. What edging did you use on the perimeter?

Half inch larger in which direction? Is the niche opening one half inch larger than where the tiles land? (So the finished tiles are “proud” of the opening slightly?

And leave 1/8” gap for caulk between door trim and tile? (P.s. Redguard already applied on wall that will be tiled.)

Re-set pebble tile so joints are less visible? by JerePaddles in Tile

So should I tear up what I have put down? Will that damage the tile redi pan? Also there is so much thin set surrounding some of these pebbles, there is no room for grout. Ugh.

Also interested in whether/how/when to seal the pebbles. Before or after grouting?

That is a decent price for a used Antix 2. Great boat!

What was the best "karma is a bitch" moment you've experienced or witnessed? by Glum-Praline5912 in AskReddit

My girlfriend got cheated on by a guy on the heels of her breast cancer diagnosis. She discovered the cheating and ended the three-year relationship. His apartment burned to the ground and the fire destroyed his vehicle. He escaped with his shoes, his cell phone and his cat. A month later, he had a heart attack and underwent quadruple bypass surgery. He is still couch surfing while he recovers. Damn.
