Tile Day 2 and 3

Tiling shower walls
 The tile sub-contractors returned a couple more times to do more work. First they grouted the floor tiles they had installed previously in the bathrooms and the mud room entry. Then, they installed the wall tiles around the first floor bathtub. Then they set to work on the second floor shower.

First they applied a product called "Hydoban" (the light green color material in the second photo). This is a roll on paint-on waterproofing membrane that was applied to the floor, seat and up the walls a few inches. After it is dry, it effectively stops water from leaking beyond it to the framing below.

The next day, they could come back and tile the shower walls, ceiling, and seat.

    I finally came onto the website to post a comment! I'm surprised there is no grab bar in the shower, does that get installed after?

    Yay, I love to get comments! Thanks, Arlene! Yes, there will be grab bars in the shower and tub, but they get installed later, like other "accessories" such as towel bars and toilet paper holders.
