Not only that. durarock has tapered joints like sheetrock and it helps to kep the tiles even and flat if you fill the joints. Honestly it's all about personal experience in the field of building and remodeling. I've been in this business for 30 years. I've seen people do things differently the whole time. Everyone has their own method and they all have the same results. And, in the end all that matters is a satisfied customer. And that final check. lol
Good to know man. I just read read read. And do it. LOL

Never worked in construction/remodeling until after I started modding PCs

You have much talent

Sweet looking my friend. I'm actually doing the same exact thing this week and have been remodeling the rest of the house for the last few weeks. That's why I haven't been on so much lately. Tomorrow is backerboard installation some mudding and the heating floor also. Is this Suntouch floor heating in the pics?

Damn nice work. I love the pebbled shower floor. Might steal that idea for my own someday.

Thanks guys. Its been a nice job. Hit&Run its a Raychem floor mat. I got it all wired in on Friday and when i got there yesterday i couldn't believe how nice it was. That was the first mat type heated floor i've done. Really makes me wish i did it on my own bathroom. I have a marble floor and dam it gets cold in the winter. Patch that shower floor stone is called River Rock in case you are ever looking for it. Its gonna be a bitch to grout. I'm not looking forward to it. lool

here are some new pictures of the bath. I'm still waiting on the plumber to finish. I'll never use this guy again. He's slow, lazy and expensive. Not a god way to be in this economy.

Moving on.

And since i'm showing off here....Some pics of a gun cabinet project i worked on. The home owner started collecting Black Powder guns from the civil war. He's been bidding on them at auctions. I managed to sneak a peak at one reciept and that gun cost 4k and some change. Each cabinet holds 16 guns. 7 on top and 3 in each drawer. For a total of 32 guns. He has one more coming. The colums on each cabinet are fluted and have some nice ribbon apliques going up them. Although its hard to see in the pic they are a really nice touch. The glass doors are 1/2in plate glass w/aluminum and wood frame. The cost of the doors alone was around 23k. There is led lighting around the inside of the cabinet that adds a nice touch. The inside of the cabinet was finished with fabric on a foam backing. And of course it has its own alarm system hard wired. The glass doors locks are keyed, while the drawer locks are activated by a keycard that you just waive over the top of the cabinet and the drawers unlock. Although i'm not 100% sure on the total cost, i estimate this cabinet costed around 65k. Add the guns and the total value of this display is around $190k. This wall was a bookcase before we started. We moved those bookcases to the upstairs hallway and the sitting room.

There are plaques on the bottom of the case under each gun. Those tags are the item id numbers from the auction. Money is no object with this guy. He has paintings on his wall that are worth more than my house.
