Our biggest project yet, we started out by framing the bench seat in the shower. We then covered it with plywood, and got to work on filling the space in between the studs so we could shim the wall. We then added our waterproofing membrane to prepare for the hot mop. Once we finished that, we installed our HardieBacker on the walls, curb, and bench of the shower. We applied the mesh tape in between the seams and laid thinset to hold it. We then pointed a laser level to install our level board and got to work on cutting the tile to lay down our pattern. Our teacher had us pick different tile for the walls, bench, and floor. We used thinset to adhere the tiles to the board and spacers to keep equal distance between tiles. Once all of the tiles were placed down, we applied a final layer of thinset and wiped everything down, letting everything dry.
