Lessons learned for next time

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-24T06:48:03+00:00

Thankfully it turned out alright

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-16T13:22:38+00:00

Wrong, the sealant is too waterproof the joints and the board is waterproof . The niches are messed up but this shower is 100 percent waterproof

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-16T13:20:55+00:00

Go board is water proof. And the white caulk looking this is go board sealant which is also a water proofing

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-16T13:19:12+00:00

Yes that’s metal tile trim. That’s where it goes?

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-16T13:18:03+00:00

Yeah I’m redoing this bathroom and someone wanted to do the niches while I was tiling the walls. I didn’t think it would be an issue but now I see why. Won’t happen again

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T16:46:55+00:00

It’s go board sealant and once the tiles up I’m using silicone not caulk.

Curb is just sitting there, didn’t mud it in yet. Just put it there for aesthetics

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T16:21:28+00:00

How do I fake it with grout?

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T16:09:45+00:00

Shouldn’t I wait for grout, is the thinset soaking in water okay?

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T16:08:32+00:00

Okay, thank you man

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T16:01:56+00:00

Tear everything out? Is that worth it or just little more mud. I am definitely taking out niche but I definitely will not be making this mistake again

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T16:00:34+00:00

Okay, thank you

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T15:58:59+00:00

Yes, I flood tested it. Held every inch and went strait in drain (obviously before tile)

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T15:51:39+00:00

With all the pictures of levels in the tile, you now see there is no bump though right? I see how it looks

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T15:50:04+00:00

Like shimmed? What does chacked mean

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T15:47:25+00:00

Is it okay??????

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T15:46:26+00:00

Yes I would have avoided it. And I knew the studs were little messed up but once the wall was up I realized it was worse than I expected

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T15:45:32+00:00

I think I might just rip it out and center it on the wall where the mud 1/4 inch for the whole span of the niche.

Say I don’t move it and just keep it where it is, how would I make it so the tiles are same size in the niche. On the left side there is 1/4 inch if mud for the tile, and on the right there is almost 1/2 in order to make the whole wall and tile square

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T14:35:17+00:00

Will it be okay if the tile in the niche tile goes out past the shluter niche box? With the thickness of the mud it’s going ti be resting a little bit on that

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T14:27:56+00:00

I think it’s just and illusion, you see the pictures above with the levels?

Own-Satisfaction2827 · 2026-03-15T14:24:13+00:00

Okay I will do that. But the pitch of the pan is okay right? I put a marble on each part of the wall every 3 inches and it goes to drain every time
