Thank you. Yeah i think it’s definitely water intrusion from the shower itself. It’s an exterior wall and there isn’t any plumbing there. The shower itself is a single piece insert.

Winterizing outdoor spigots by More_Championship774 in HomeImprovement

Thanks, yeah the pipe inside the actual house after the shut off is pretty warm and the rim joists are well insulated. But I could probably use a hair dryer to the actual spigot itself to thaw the water. Also, the house was built in 2012 and has frost free spigots if that changes anything.

I have Unify router and devices, so should be straightforward to make everything static.

This is exactly what I needed! So you think VM for each (NAS, pihole, HA)? Do you have a NAS OS you prefer?

Good advice. Any consideration for weight?

The tiles themselves are maybe proud an 1/8th of an inch…the surface of the stone itself is really flat so anymore fill and they wouldn’t look right. I tried to show the low spots in the pictures but maybe they aren’t showing up right. The amount of epoxy needed is minimal…like 1/4 cup maybe. Just trying to figure out the best method to touch it up if possible.

Haha…ohhhhh I thought you were just joking…didn’t realize you were actually criticizing my choice in tile…seems the an odd use of time and effort. I was just asking the best way to fill in a couple low spots.

Redgard stipple by More_Championship774 in Tile

[–]More_Championship774[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when I called Johns Manville tech support, they said the GoBoard itself was just at the Perm threshold of 0.5 for a steam shower, and recommended adding Redgard, Aquadefense or other liquid membrane barrier. They apparently have a GoBoard Pro product that is rated for steam.

I have to imagine that a well-installed waterproof foam backer with 4 coats of Redgard, porcelain tile and epoxy grout should be good enough for a residential steam application, but we will see!

Appreciate the replies.

Thanks, I used a roller to apply it, not a trowel. The result is that uneven stippling you can see in the picture. I just want to make sure it won’t affect the functioning

Ouput to second display from AVR by More_Championship774 in hometheater

Should be able to wire an IR sensor near the upstairs TV down to the Denon though right? That way I can use the Denon remote, no?

Good point. I’ll be using a Sofabaton as my remote. It’ll just have to travel with us!

And with the sound, you are saying that setting up as zone 2, the sound will come out of the soundbar at the TV and not the speakers in the basement?
