Nice work
never seen a jig like that, but kind of cool. i mean by the time you figure where to put it, level it, and screw it, i can have the perimeter done, but if it helps thats all that matters. i havent really changed to schluter, but have gone away from liner pans after 40 years. not that i ever had leaking issues with a liner, just figured i can alleviate a few issues that always bugged me. for one a water in water out system ends up a bit to high, just too high of a curb and customers never really liked that. another issue i hated was the extra flare out at the bottom and also the time it took to do the curb. i never screwed thru liner on inside of curb, so i always lathe and mudded which was time consuming. also because i didnt like embedding any wall boards into the mud and didnt screw thru the liner, i always felt the bottom of boards werent sufficiently secure. with a bonded drain, single slope pan, i alleviate all these 100 percent. i still do mud pans, but use a membrane on top and use a foam curb and foam wall boards (not schluter though) now i can screw all the way down to secure boards, no worries on curb and it takes less time, no flare out caused by the liner and overall height of shower floor is lessened by at least an inch. so for me its win across the board.
im confused ,,, video ??

@@billhamilton7524I'm responding to the video but perhaps responded to your comment instead.
@@fctazz beats me what your responding to
@@billhamilton7524 czcams.com/video/wlpA0dhBQU0/video.htmlsi=aq8aUxTgzT3H1l4i. even your response of "beats me what your responding to" is right underneath a video on you tube and this is what im responding to. i just commented on the video, didnt mean for that comment to be aimed towards you.
How thick for the concrete base and how thick for the mud layer?
Good question. A lot of factors play into this like the height of your curb and drain. I don’t remember this specifics for this particular shower pan, as it was a while ago, but you really just wanna make sure you follow the product specifications. Most mud-bed-mix products you really shouldn’t go less than 3/8 inch think. I usually don’t like to do anything less than 1/2 inch thick. All my shower pans are sloped at a 1/4 inch of fall per foot.
Going back to home depot is the worst. That's a gnarly screeding method. Do yourself a favor and make that segment a short with a banner "gnarly way to mud".
Are you ok? You sound like you’re on sedatives.
Yes I agree with you. I hate how I sound on this video. It was my first video and I did that voiceover recording after a long day at midnight. Once I get more videos up this one will be the first to go 100%. I’ll have to remake a better shower pan video!
