"Do It Right the First Time!"

"Do it right the first time!" may be Holmes on Homes' motto, but it is probably used by papa k just as much. And thank goodness for that!

I can't think of anything worse than water leaks, especially when there are two units below us. Papa k put Holmes' motto to practice when building our shower with six water tight layers.

Floor:
  • vapor barrier
  • pre-pitch = 1" cement
  • 40 mm rubber membrane
  • pitch = 1.5" cement
  • tile (still to be installed)
  • grout (still to be installed)
Walls:
  • fiberglass insulation
  • vapor barrier
  • durarock fiber board
  • waterproofing
  • tile (still to be installed)
  • grout (still to be installed)


The pink is waterproofing paint.
