Want a walk-in shower?

105: Taping and Finishing Drywall Corners Aug 10, 2015

Show notes

Taping and finishing drywall corners is an art.

Today’s lesson discusses how to make the corners look awesome with a few different tips.

First you’ll have to choose which type of joint compound you want.

Pre-mixed and setting-type joint compound are two common options.

Pre-mixed mud takes a bit longer to setup.

Setting-type joint compound comes in 20 minute, 45 minute, and 90 minute varieties.

This means the mud will setup in about 20, 45, or 90 minutes.

The key to getting great drywall corners is to stagger the mudding process.

Listen to the podcast for all the tips :D

101: How to Build a Walk-In Shower Aug 04, 2015

Show notes

Walk-in showers are the new thing in bathroom remodeling.

Today, Steve White from SRW Contracting shares how he installs this kind of shower.

If you’ve dreamed of getting a new shower you should listen.

Steve recommends the VIM level entry shower kit which you can research here

http://www.vimproducts.com/

He also likes using Schluter Ditra on wood subfloors to prevent tiles from cracking and to waterproof the entire bathroom. This is especially important when you install a walk-in shower system

http://www.schluter.com/

Steve also recommends the AKW curbless pan because no blocking is needed under the pan
