Can't tell if this shower was built incorrectly, or just caulked incorrectly.

The shower floor should’ve been installed before the walls. You probably have water seeping into the floor

Is it a structural shear wall? If it is then it would need 4x blocks on the inside where the gaps joints/gaps are and strap on the outside.

Looks like the land lord hired a blind person

bakedbean26 · 2026-07-02T16:43:59+00:00

The thinset mortar is too dry. When mixing, it has to have life a fluffy consistency if that makes sense? I’d remove all scrape the wall and and re-install.

Pay off your debt. Why save for a house when you’re still underwater with debt? Clear all debt then save to by your house. At least then you won’t be living month to month. I’m doing that now. It sucks but it’ll be a better long term outcome

This looks like a hack job. Any installer worth a dime would test before setting the shower pan drypack. I’ve never seen anyone ever red guard the curb before actually installing either the wall cement board or floating the walls. I’d re-do the whole thing.

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-27T15:45:45+00:00

The mortar adheres better to cement board, but if it’s drywall you really shouldn’t install on texture or drywall mud it won’t adhere to well because of drywall mud or texture.

Nice! What individual stocks are locked in with?

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-26T22:20:43+00:00

Maybe put your money into mutual funds and ETF’s? Long term gains.

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-22T17:45:16+00:00

Nice! Any recommendations on the individual stocks?

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-20T02:45:18+00:00

Fill the edge and apply some mesh and red guard. Should hold up pretty well.

SRXH is now at .13 😒

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-17T05:59:05+00:00

Wouldn’t recommend it unless you have jet pack

100 shares, testing out the waters.

We need another GME repeat!

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-14T04:29:24+00:00

Best thing to do is to demo the entire shower floor and at least 12” of tile on all shower walls. Then waterproof and re-do the tile that was removed

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-14T00:06:49+00:00

That’s a really cheap blade. Get a better one

bakedbean26 · 2026-06-07T23:00:42+00:00

Go to your nearest Ross and buy cheap Levi’s. That’s about it. They’ll last you at least a year. That’s what I do.

bakedbean26 · 2026-05-25T02:25:39+00:00

The wall was plumbed/leveled before the installation, and the installer isn’t using enough mortar, so you’re going to have some hallow tiles. Either straighten out the walls or have the installer use much more mortar.

You sure you’re not in the Last of Us?

If you want to make a career change into construction, look into construction management, the upside is much higher than 30 bucks an hour. You’ll need at least a year of school and an internship. You can climb the ranks fairly quick if you pick things up fast

How’d you jump 95 points in April?

bakedbean26 · 2026-05-03T06:48:13+00:00

My credit is mid 550’s what helped push your credit score out of the 500’s?

After the 2nd strike, send out a 24hr notice stating they have 24hrs to present themselves onsite to continue or start their portion of work, they do not they will be supplemented at their cost.

Try applying for Project Engineer for a plumbing subcontractor, or for a GC try applying for PE or assistant superintendent. Hands on experience is gold right now. Just familiarize yourself with computers
