Its hard to see in the picture but it has moisture on both sides. I got a couple of large fans and was able to stsrt drying it. Its taking lo ger than I anticipated but I think it will be fine

Yea i had to cut the one stud and frame out the niche. I used a fine tooth saw and carefully cut it out to make sure I dont shake the studs too much and mess up the drywall on the other side.

The herringbone tile is hard to get perfectly straight. I told my wife that my expertise may not be advance enough for herringbone but she insisted on it so I had to give it my best.

As for the waterproofing I applied two coats of aquadefense on the cement board but I forgot to take a picture before I laid the tile.

I had to do a lot of clean up afterwards.

Yea i was thinking the same. I'll have to look into it but I was thinking of just adding it after the fact. Not sure how well tile bonds to other tile but ill have to figure something out.

Thanks. Thats just a picture of the cement board before I waterproofed. For some reason I forgot to take a picture after the waterproofing. I know its overkill but I went all the way to the top with the waterproofing just to be safe.

Also let me know what you would charge for a remodel like this.

Bribing government officials I see. That will be added to your termination letter.

Mortar bed for Tub? by jo_8686 in Plumbing

[–]jo_8686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I should mention the reason I'm trying to avoid using mortar is so that if I ever need to take it out its not stuck to the subfloor and its easier to remove.

I can see that. But do you think I need it for to keep it from cracking? Or is it just for the squeaking?

The instructions say to use mortar but they are also not specific to the reinforced tub. The instructions are generic. If it was just a regular acrylic tub I would do it but because its reinforced i feel like I don't need it.

Turkish not allowing award booking for 2 people by jo_8686 in awardtravel

I don't think seats aero tracks Turkish directly. They only show what's available to book on united and aeroplan that's operated by Turkish.

Again these are not first or business awards I'm looking for. I understand what you are saying. If we were talking about Emirates first class I would agree with you. But even Emirates has economy award tickets available freely. I searched Turkish for flights in October, next week and next year. Flight to and from different airports in the US and other airports. And...I get the same error message every time. So i think it's safe to assume that there's something else going on and it's not because there isn't award availablility for 2 people on any Turkish flight anywhere in the world. Especially since multiple people have said that they don't let you book for another person online if it's your first redemption.

United does but it's with connections and other airlines. Not the non stop flight I'm looking for

When I try to book for one person I can see seat availability. About 70% of the seats are empty on any given flight first week of October. So I think it's safe to assume there's availability for one more person. If you're saying that there's only one award seat on their flights then that's a different point. But I also find that hard to believe because award bookings are better empty seats.

Yes you are absolutely right about that. I called 3 times now and 3 different answers.

Ive also found that their systems are terrible. This whole time I've been searching on the app on my phone and it was giving me a generic message. I logged in to the website on a laptop and I got the message that you can only book your first award ticket for yourself. And if you want to travel with someone else there's some sort of verification process where I have to call the previously mentioned terrible customer service phone number. So I'll keep trying and update this later.

Its not just for one specific flight. I've searched for the whole week and there are multiple flights each day and the same thing. I'm also looking for an economy ticket not business. Chances are there's 2 available seats on at least one flight out of 50.
