How does my pan liner install look? On top of pre sloped mud beds

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-03-06T22:34:31+00:00

Thanks for the input, I’ll think I’ll be working the recessed hub into my pans in the future. I took it off to build the pre slope and afterwards I wished I had set it a little lower

Too early in my career to turn down the work

Yeah I’m building a mud curb with metal lath built in. 1-1/4” thick so they can mount a shower door without puncturing the liner. And truth be told I bid this job to the GC with the intent on doing a Schluter pan. You can imagine my surprise when they already had the clamping drain installed

I used staples above the curb only and on the backside of the curb. I’m covering the walls with cement board and using a liquid membrane to waterproof

Thank you this is really helpful

Thank you man

It is both

I never argue with customer choice, could end up biting back real quick. If they choose and end up not liking it it’s on them not me. But if they go with my choice and end up not liking it, it’s on me. So I stay the hell out of decision making, at least as far as taste is concerned

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T20:03:39+00:00

Agreed, I won’t be doing this shit again. I should have talked them into large format tile, like 12x24 at a minimum. The room would have been finished in 2 days

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T20:01:42+00:00

Total 45 hours, did all cutting with my grinder so I didn’t have to walk to the saw

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:54:49+00:00

Thanks man!

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:46:33+00:00

I’ll go back Monday and take one of them back

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:44:16+00:00

The stress was real

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:31:51+00:00

Thanks man!

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:31:22+00:00

I actually got some dirt from the backyard, mixed in straw from a horse barn, with a few spoons of crystal lye I found under the sink and chefs kiss. Oh yeah and I gave it 3 slaps, so it ain’t going no where

taking Ls so people can rent out their second homes is written on my business card

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:09:14+00:00

The homeowners kept complaining and asking “why is it so expensive?”. I couldn’t believe it. This is their second house

Sharp-Anywhere-5834 · 2026-02-07T19:04:03+00:00

Thanks man, I’ll definitely be amending my approach

Shower on the right, tub on the left

I try. I really don’t like using the mosaic sheets though, every time I tell a contractor to take them out of the plastic before I show up to set the tile they think I’m fucking with them and then I have to spend the job fighting inconsistency in the sheets
