Bath

Reply to: here's what your shower should look like w/cement board (CBU, HardieBoard, DuraRock) this is what's painted over it to waterproof it should look like this. Now you can tile Kerdi shower system (just another way of waterproofing. Kerdi is a complete system.) If doing a cement board wall, the shower pan should have this. PVC liner (supported by surrounding wood studs. no nails in the liner or on the curb!! then a sloped mortar bed atop and over the curb to finish looking like this Now you can tile. Show him these pictures. did he do anything resembling any of this? NO? then it's a tear out

Reply to: prairiemoon- Don't get too wrapped up in the numbers. I've had three Toto Ultramax toilets -- rating 700 -- for about 10 years and had only one clog...when someone threw a popsicle stick in the toilet and it got stuck crossways in the trap. In making my selection, I looked at reviews from a source that was reliable: Terry Love Plumbing: Toilet Report
