THE BEST REDGARD VIDEO ON THE INTERNET!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2020
- Redgard is probably the most widely used liquid applied waterproofing membrane for tile in showers. This is the best redgard video I have ever seen on the internet. I'm not saying there are not other good Redgard videos out there, but this is the first time I have seen it done right when being used as a shower pan waterproofing membrane. Custom Building Product's own Redgard instructional video is very vague and instructs users to apply 2 coats. No more, no less. It is very difficult to get the correct application rate for using only 2 coats (40 sq.ft. per gallon per coat). It also does not show the details of tying into the drain as this video shows.
To see the original video from @Totally Rad Tile, click the link here: • How to build a shower pan .
Drew does a great job explaining, in detail, how to properly waterproof a shower using Redgaurd and a traditional weep type drain system using Hardibacker on the walls. You can also find Drew on instagram @etile.
Isaac, I am a professional remodeler/builder in Ohio with 29 years in the trades, and I just have to say I love your style. Your method of doing the research to do each job right is inspiring, even to an old timer like me. I especially love your encouraging words, you are an exceptional example to everyone in our industry, and we can all improve from your content. Both on the job and off.
Wow! So I watched your videos and learned a lot. Sometimes confused me, but you blew me out of the water when you touched mental health issues! I didn't expect that, and I'm proud of you for doing so and adding your reflection. Thank you!
Damn dude, I came for the help with my bathroom floor and got the inspiration I needed to keep my brains off of it. You are appreciated brother.
Wow! That prime coat is the trick when using the fabric! The redgard dries almost immediately on the non primed surfaces but the primed surface gave extra work time to get the fabric applied well and smoothed out! Thanks for the tip
I've been watching your videos and others because I am currently redoing a shower in my house. Your advice, and others, have helped me immensely. Due to what I do for a living, my days are filled with negativity and a lack of honesty, both by people I deal with and sometimes my employer (I'm in gov't). That being said, I really appreciate when someone shows such sincere encouragement and compassion. Thank you for all your help, please keep it up.
Enjoy your videos. I’m a 30 year tile guy. One man show. It’s great to watch a fellow tile guy go through the step by step. Wish you all the health and happiness 2020 can bring. And 2021.
I'm a general contractor in San Jose and have done pretty much all the kitchen & bathrooms by myself. Got licensed in 1993 and been using a few tile subs the last few years. I went through 5 or so before I found a guy who actually followed proper practices regarding weep holes! It gets old real fast when you have to watch over your subs! Common sense that you want the water to have a clear path to drain ! I started watching your video on redguard and saw how thick you were putting it on and the guy you pointed out in this video explained it well. I still prefer hot mop when I can control the fumes, but redguard( the way he showed to install works well! shluter I only use with a liquid membrane over it and up the walls past the curb at aminimum because thinset only between the membranes is not waterproof especially when weep holes are clogged and water sits under the tile ! Hopefully this video will sink into the guys the right procedure!
I love a good tutorial that makes sense. So I really appreciate what you do. My brothers and I are fixing a bathroom at my mom’s house and your knowledge and simple way to share it has help a lot. It’s very thoughtful of you to encourage viewers during the hard
covid 19 period. I lost my nephew due to mental health during covid.
Congratulations on your channel. Awesome, it’s awesome. 🎉
I'm watching this in 2021 and I have to say your message at the end is very refreshing and wholesome and not polarizing. So many people just say "stay safe", when most people don't agree that the only concern is to "stay safe", and honestly it's a polarizing comment. Thanks for sticking to a good message that is needed and we all can get behind.
You’re a good guy. The bit at the end was sincere, I dig it.
I liked everything about the video how you showed us someone doing the water proofing you gave him credit were credit was due. and you gave encouraging words at the end. MAD respect from Chicago.
Tile Couch, your the MAN!! I dig your sincerity 👍🏼Mad respect from New Hampshire
@@unction4christ Agreed
I tore my shower and entire bathroom apart 2 month ago. Found your channel and you have inspired me to maybe tackle it myself. Time is the issue now. I built this house 36 years ago with my father in law. The shower had some pan failure. You are a great teacher and I hope my job slows down and I get time to put this back together. Thanks again.
Tile Coach. You really are inspiring. Honest man you are. I feel as tho you're at work for the greater good in all of us.. You're sincerely appreciated man.
Priming plaster walls requires a mist coat/slurry coat. Where you mix the primer 50/50 with water so it can absorb into the the plaster. Then the paint sticks to the primer. This is a standard approach in priming surfaces, before coating them. The red guard is sticky, but you can peel it off, if you don't do a mist coat, or put too much material on. The way buddy applies it in the video, pretty much makes it a done deal, as the red guard has become part of the substrate.
I like to see the positivity. You’re a good and sincere man. Thank you!!!!
You are a good guy.
Thank you for your comments and positive attitude.
God Bless you!!!
This is exactly how, I do it. I’m in Rochester, NY and we don’t get the deck mud you have in Cali.
I’ve also been lighting up all my niches for my customers and every single one of them loves it!
Quick question. Why sandwich the red guard between 2 mud beds rather than one big sloped mud bed, redguard, then tile? Wouldn't that eliminate 1inch of mud bed to absorb water. Or does redguard not 'play well' with the tile thinset? Thanks!!
@@josephfox7952 reason is to let the water drain thru the weep holes. The deck mud is pores, so water seeps thru the top layer to the pre- slope bottom layer where most people use pan liner rather than red guard.
Also, you need that thickness for strength. I’ve also use topical membrane directly on top of deck if I use Schulter line drain. I don’t trust thin set to water proof the point where there’s all water flow to.
@@tommynguyen8942 so would you redgard over the second layer as well?
@@afchannel652 When I use Schluter drains. And I do come out at least 6” from all corners where walls/ curb meet shower pan.
@@afchannel652 I was wondering the same thing - would redguard also on the second layer make it even more waterproof?
Glad to see you respect others work. That’s an honest man Much respect bro.
So he is using red guard in lieu of a pvc pan liner. First time I’ve seen that. Thanks for the video. Your videos are the most informative imo
Ive never used this mothed for filling corners and covering the gaps between boards. I usually cover all of my corners and seems with mesh tape and trowel on speed set mortar. Once the mortar dries, I will go over the entire wall with 2 coats of Redgard. This method of using waterproofing membrane in the corners seems fine, but if you have gaps lard than 1/8", you definitely want to go with the mesh tape and speed set mortar method, as Redgard can be used to isolate small gaps, because it cant be used to fill larger gaps and bridge them.
Excellent collaboration!!!!! Thanks for the spotlight on a procedure that works!
You have taught me so much more. I think you’re a real positive guy who doesn’t beat up us DYIers. Keep making the videos so we can keep getting better! P.S. the positive ness of this last video of those of us who may be dealing with profound issues in our lives has been well received by myself for sure! God bless you!
Great video! You're extra commentary on top of his was very useful. I also appreciate your kind words at the end, I much prefer to work with, learn from, and take the advise of people that seem to really care.
Thank you for sharing this video and the commentary!
And, I'd like to say thank you for making videos. Having watched a number of your videos when I was able to handle the small amount of tile work that a friend needed as she's getting her house ready to sell.
The lessons I learned from dealing with only about 3 square feet of tile in real life: small amounts of floor tile is easy, even just tiny amounts of wall tile isn't, pre mixed ready to use thinset seems to suck, and an oscillating multitool with a grout removal blade is amazing for tile removal and cleaning up odd cuts in hardy board :)
Great video thank you for sharing. I’ve watched A LOT of videos from different installers and this is the first time I’ve seen someone apply a thin coat/tape then another coat. GREAT.
Glad it was helpful!
You’re the best Isaac, I started watching Starr tile and he taught me a lot but I think he’s kind of stuck in his ways. You kind of combine everything and figure out what’s best 👍
Agreed... Andrew's demo was insanely well done & informative.
You are great!
This is excellently done in every way and your closing comments are admirable. Thanks.
Thank you for the informative content 👍 I wanted to chime in…spoke with rep from Custom about applying a redguard primer , 4 parts water to 1 part redguard. They confirmed this was recommended, especially when applying redguard to hardie backer due to hardie backers property of soaking up liquid quickly.
The fiberglass fabric in the corners is key to any liquid waterproofing! Great video Coach
Hey bro do you know what type of fabric was used in this video?
@@austinb2889 not sure what exact brand he's using but I get mine on Amazon just search "waterproof membrane fabric". It's 6" wide by 75' long roll. Usually one roll will do about 2 showers if you're hitting all the corners.
I watch a lot of vids, this one just a day late. Installed my flange wrong yesterday. I took extra time cut the sub floor for the half inch stubs to make the flange to fit flush. Fix it right today. Thanks for this one.
Thanks for adding your comment about drugs and alcohol, the video was good as well. I'm a retired mason who has done tile off and on over the years. I would love to go back and see all the jobs I did. Too bad I didn't have a mentor like you. Great job. BTW, I have 27 yrs of not using. ODAAT
It seems like with Schluter or other sheet membranes there are so many weak areas due to the seams. Liquid waterproofings like RedGuard, etc appear to be limiting those weak points. I mean it's not like the Schluter warranty is worth the paper it's written on.
Matt The Builder. I’ve done both an definitely think liquid is faster and less fussy then Kerdi. For corners, you can use the fabric roll to protect against cracking and bridge the two planes. FWIW laticrete hydroban says you don’t need the fabric in the corners.
I use Both. Schluter then I Redguard over. Always Mud base!
@@franklinanderson7389 I just did a shower with both as well, #1 dry pack cement for slope towards drain, #2 schluter kerdi overlapping all joints # 3 several coats of redgard. From all my years in construction seems like the best practice.
Isaac's videos have proven out of any doubt that Schluter fails. Look at "Ardex and Schluter Kerdi 7 Day Flood Test - The Results" - for example. The whole Schluter system (Kerdi membranes and such) just failed not because of the Ardex or whatever but just because the Schluter system counts on thinset to be water tight (??) - you don't need an advanced science degree to know that this will not hold water for more than a few hours or days. As far as Redgard, it is an uninterrupted waterproof membrane so it holds water. Isaac made a first video with Redgard and he messed up by not applying the product correctly (he tried to apply the whole 20mil or 40mil of thickness in one coat not knowing) but he later realized his mistake and did another video where he applied Redguard correctly (apply a thin coat, let dry, move on to next coat - Isaac hated the fact that this took a lot of time though) and he left the mock up shower he built with Redgard sit in water for a few days. Next he took the shower apart - results: Zero water made it through the Redgard. At the end of those videos Isaac still said that he was kind of counting on Schluter more than Redgard still (which appeared to defeat logic - but I can understand because he relied on Schluter for years and did not have come backs since water of showers he did is not literally dripping from the ceiling below the shower - just slowly wicking around the walls in most cases because he is one of the good guys who correctly installs shower pan liners in most or all his showers - and he found Redgard is a longer process) based on the fact that Redgard takes too long. Isaac is brilliant - and is very methodical - one of the only guys on the internet who is really thinking like an engineer and "peels the onion" correctly to isolate the failures by doing simplified situation testing. I'm sure he will eventually get back to realizing that a liquid membrane like Redgard (and other liquid membranes) is the only stuff that doesn't fail by design (it can still fail for other reasons, like mistakes and special situations). Contractors can make all kinds of claims about Schluter holding water but rare are the ones who did complete DPAs (Destructive Physical Analysis) like Isaac has done, so none of those other contractors really know what they don't know (i.e water is slowly wicking through the walls and floors of the showers they built years ago and they have no clue cause they're no longer in the picture and they'll be long forgotten by the time the showers they build are demolished years later by a different owner, etc, in most cases, and if they are around they'll mess up the failure analysis and think a mistake other than the fact that Schluter is a broken system to start with is the cause of the failure). The only thing that saves Schluter is most people use a shower pan liner beneath the whole failing system (but water will can still make it all over the walls though (joint compound is not water proof - my jaw dropped the first time I read the Schluter instructions - after some research I eventually found the Isaac video which confirmed everything I feared about that system - I would never use it).
@@jfgrivard2 in my last shower build i used schluter kerdi on my dry packed base and additionally applied 2 coats of redguard. To me its double insurance and I am not disagreeing with anything you are stating. For best results in my experiences you have to apply it as if your painting a wall, let it dry to the deep red color and re-apply another coat. I believe the schluter system alone can be effective as long as your water runoff is sloped correctly to the drain to avoid any kind of pooling but I like to go the extra mile.
My Man! Glad to see you survived the industry...
This. Is the BEST tile channel .
Great detail. Most wouldn't even have tried to explain this.
Even though I don’t agree with 100% of things you do you are one hell good man. No two installers do things the same way, the end results must be like a FROG’S ASS. Water tight!
Very nice I wish more people would watch videoslike this before building a shower . I've been in the tile trade for 30 years and always willing to learn new methods . There's no excuse to do things wrong now adays , when all your info and instructions are available on UA-cam . The only problem is so many so called experts are showing you the wrong way to do showers why take a chance ?
Saw your video about the tear out of an incorrect use of red guard then this one touche' you have a good sense of how to install and go to correct sources if needs be, got a feeling you are a great builder/ designer, Daniel D Janson thanks this video reminded me of the correct procedures.
If you want to check the thickness of Red Guard, or any liquid membrane, I suggest getting a wet film gauge. It's a credit card size piece of sheet metal with notches of various sizes cut out around the edges. You can get them at most paint stores.
thank you so much for the tip
What's the gauge for
@@rubensebastian2604 You measure the thickness - in microns - of a coating (Red Guard, paint, etc) while it's still wet.
So basically this for the beginner, or handyman great video. I been using fabric in all my corners. I do the same system but I use hydro ban.for over 15 years. Keep up good work👍
What’s the fabric you use called and where can I get it?
what is the name of the fabric?
@@avsarpatel1316 I use a product from Laticrete called Anti Fracture Fabric and it comes in a 6 inch by 75 foot roll for about 30 bucks. Do like this video and prime your corners with 2 thin coats, apply the fabric in the wet 3rd coat and coat one more time for a total of 4 coats. The fabric is thin but durable and will form a strong waterproof joint with minimal buildup.
So what is the fabric exactly?
You're a good dude, that bit at the end... much respect I been doing tile for almost 14 years. I often tell people the same thing. it's an art form and I just love how happy people are when I'm done with a project.
I do general construction indoors and out and believe it is definitely an art form as well.
@@izzdiesel8556 absolutely! I treat everything likes its being installed in my own home
People think that working with your hands is not honorable.when I watch real skilled artisans I appreciate it
U snap with tile work......one of the best in the game
Good Commentary TileCoach!
Thanks Isaac.
This basically applies to a shower only installation. I'll check out his channel to see what he does for a tub/shower intallation. Excellent info starting at 8:50 for application of RedGard.
Iaasac! You have a phenomenal channel.
Great speaker and great tile setter!
May the Lord continue to bless you Sir.
Proverbs 27:17!
Amen
you should also have the title life coach , gr8 positive attitude to imitate !!!
Thanks my brother. Your videos and comments are appreciated!
I've replaced a few showers over 20 years ago with no failure but with new technology and building products I know I'm out of the loop on what to do. In Florida most homes have concrete floors and that's what I have right now. Normally starting with a clean tear out (down to the studs and concrete ) then install the 40 mill liner, then shower pan, then concrete backer board, then tile. This Redguard or other similar products make me wonder about product stability over 20 years.
I'm replacing a shower and think the whole preslope thing is awesome. My new plan is - a clean tear out, preslope, liner, shower pan, Durock, Redguard then tile. Sound good? I apprecaite the knowledge and information you share.
All the best!!!
I was not expecting the information at the end of the video. But I needed to hear it. Thank you brother.
Man I love the positive messages you present. Thank you for teaching me so much such a short time!. You the Man! 🙌💯💯
I like to know someone else out there in my industry feels the same way from another tile installer to you keep it up I hope if I’m in California I can get the chance to meet you someday.
Ppl think making vids are so easy, until they make their first😉 For a nice cohesive, comprehensive video for ppl to follow, can take many many takes, cuts, & hrs of editing..... But, it’s a cool feeling making a vid; as it is when completing a job (shower, bathroom, etc...awesome to see “art”).
Liked the vids Isaac, & you are correct about “things” when comes to “directions” for certain products, imo, especially for a home owner/DIayer who’s never done a bathroom & does a great tiling job, than finds months later.....shower has a “water issue”; can be gut-wrenching etc...
Your outtro is so raw, honest, & gotta say; cool that you do talk about this stuff as most ppl in society, just don’t.👍🏻
Have a great 4th✌🏼
How do you use Redgard with a linear drain? Linear drains, most often, don't have weep holes. Also, what is the fabric he used for the seams?
I was curious as well about what the ‘fabric’ is for the seams and change of plane.
So, I know you do a lot of videos on various methods for waterproofing a shower. My question is, which one do you trust the most assuming each method was done correct according to the manuf. specs.?
Very good demo. Wish I had years ago.😮
researching for a van conversion shower and came across your channel! this is super interesting stuff! rad message at the end
I recently came across your page, and I think you have some great tips of the trade. I’m from Toronto Canada, we do it a little differently up here but for the most part, it’s pretty much the same. I’m definitely going to try a wall float, seems like a great base for tile install. You have a lot of informative content. Keep up the great work, and stay safe!!
You guys in Canada do everything a little different, lol,,,,just fukin wid ya, I from Maine, lots of Quebeckers here in the summer....
@@JeffreyMcCarthy toronto is a bit different than quebec, big difference in accent actually lol
hey keith, Im in toronto as well and agree with you, I'm not going to attempt to wall float though unless im not rebuilding the wall from scratch.
I am old school and use a hotmop service for my pans. The drain flange is a little different but the hotmop is installed much like the video shows the fabric over the flange. This type of flange shown is something I don't have any knowledge of since I use a different system. Times change and new systems come into use. However in 30 years with hotmop and drypack I have never had a call back.
You seem like a good hearted guy! I never knew tiling was it's own craft, but I believe it. Great idea if you are into the artistic part of it too. I would enjoy the challenge the artistic results.
Bravo! Pea gravel around the weep holes! On all my shower builds I leave a relief around the drain assembly on my secondary slope. Everything gets liquid applied waterproofed and tied in to the drain assembly can be scuffed up with sandpaper to achieve a mechanical bond. Drain is installed to the correct-P gravel around the weep holes and deck mud fills in my relief. Is an approved method awesome job!
@Todd: Thank you - I was wondering about the rocks. I thought that is what the purpose was, but wasn't sure.
Gee ... this guys is like your teacher and your father. Excellent!
You can forego the two step mortar bed process and tile directly over your waterproofing by floating as you would your 2nd mortar bed but omitting the mud around the drain- kind of like a crater. This works for Kerdi as well; if you're not using their proprietary drain and as long as you use their kerdi fix product to bond liner to the ABS- it will still be acceptable under schluters militant warranty criteria
Great video! Please more of these for us Tile for Dummies guys like me!!! I need the cookies placed on the bottom shelf. Not going to lie!
Yep... It is the best video on the internet for using redgard. It answered all my questions on waterproofing my shower pan. I find tiling theraputic... LOL
The end is quite funny because I’m about 6 beers in and half a g of beak deep while I watched it. Top quality tradesmen though, keep up the good work
I just found your channel. I love watching DIY, tutorial and home repairs videos. You are a solid professional! Thanks for the vids.
Im redoing a 80 year old bathroom right now. I am doing this exact technique. After a year of research this is what I decided. All from home depot too. very convienent. Tile stores around here are kind of crappy
Dude, I'm in Australia and I've just recently come across your videos. I love them, they are really informative and are inspiring me to make a change of career.
I'm a little to old to get a full trade but thinking that the handyman business might be best for me.
I be watching many more of your videos and keeping you as my tile coach.
Keep up the great work. 👍
I just did my shower walls with this today. All ready for Palisade tile!
Thank you very much for this. Im a GC my new tile setter said he does it this way. Im freaking out.
Nose como comensar pero , tengo serca de 2 años mirando tus videos, vivo en chicago y apenas comense a trabajar en baños. Tengo mucha desinformacion de parte de compañeros, mi comunidad esta muy muy mall informada aserca de como husar, los materiales para baño me gustaria haser algo para aprender y poder alludar a mi comunidad !!! Gracias por tu tiempo!!!!
Love the video and the instructional encouragement. I’ve used Redguard on three walk-in showers and do like it a lot. I have installed it with the same type fabric but have used it as the last step before tiling ( no additional mud bed on top of the Redguard), with much success. With that said, do you see that secondary bed as necessary, especially when the shower is built on the house slab?
I'm in a bit of a pickle with an Inspector and my Contractor. The Red Gard was only put on joints and up the wall 12". What Should be covered in Red Gard if the backing board is Wonderboard and hardiebacker?
Great video I’m fixing to try my first shower floor repair 🤠
Would you trust the red guard over a rubber membrane? I’m debating on which way to go with a new shower.
Yo What is there not to like ! This was A Great Video ! Very Informative about Shower Pan Red Guard and Drain ! Great Video ! Keep it Up !
I don't see the logical science behind using 2 layers of dry pack (shower base cement) with redguard in between. The most logical standpoint from my point of view is to float your shower pan put schluter kerdi and then coat it with red guard or whatever rubberized membrane which is available to you for leakage security. I'm not an expert and I do enjoy your videos none the less. Thank you for taking the time to produce the content you do @tilecoach.
I was watching it to refresh my memory on how to do water guard correctly, message at the end hit me hard.
Very informative. Thanks for the video brother.
I love your videos, and I love the pep talks you often give at the end.
Thanks for all your help for us DIY'ers!
What's the purpose of the second float on top of the Redgard? Why not apply thinset and tile directly to the waterproofing membrane?
Thank you for this video, I like the idea to add the membrane with the redguard in the corners.
Love the level of workmanship in all you videos and love the end outreach at the end man?
The manufacture of the 3 part Oatey drain in your video specifically states to set that drain flush on the floor. Their cut away diagram reinforces how it is to be properly installed for a mud deck application. I called Oatey for clarification and they emphasized that the drawing is correct and that the drain assembly absolutely should not rest on the floor on the bolt housing underside of drain leaving the underside of the drain flange a half an inch from from subfloor but that it is designed to be supported by sitting on the base or flat underside of the drain. According to the Manufacturer (Oatey) your drain is installed improperly as shown in your video
I was wondering about this. The oatey diagrams are pretty clear but I was really worried about thinning the slope down to like 1/8”. But I am using a pvc liner on top so I’m not that worried.
@@patrickjunot218 No you should be fine............Im just amazed of the hundreds of shower pan installations from all the experts who never address how to correctly install a 3 part drain
What surprises me is that if I watch 100 videos on how to build a shower pan, there will be 98 different ways to do it. How is there no standardized method of building one?!
@@patrickjunot218 Exactly Patrick................ you have to watch 100 or possibly 500 videos and sort fact from fiction. I came to the conclusion that many of these you tubers are putting out misleading or outright bogus information. Educate yourself and dont do anything until you are confident that the method you decide on is the correct or best method for you. Best regards
Well its a fact that many methods will work for a shower pan thats why there's so many different ways. I dont think there's 1 way thats a lot better than other. Its all about installing it correctly whichever method you use
That cutaway was a great idea. I do the pan liner over my preslope. I use red guard for the walls, change of plane from the walls and 2 inches in on top of the base per tech support instructions.
Do you use fabric for the change of plane? Is it necessary with a liner?
@@patrickjunot218 - i say its necessary. I always use the cloth or 3" to 5" fiberglass mesh tape.
Awesome instructional video! Love the ending man! Keep making great videos
I will all ways think the best red guard video, was the one we're the guy pulled out a v notch trowel and started v notching red guard very entertaining 😳
Great video Issac, and the bit at the end.
Thank you bro for all the great videos.
What a great piece of advice you gave at the end! Wow!!
Nice video! I would love to see something similar with hot mop.. Also would love to see a vide showing tile steps after hot mop.. I've searched and searched and cant find anything. I'm currently working on a shower and will have it hot moped next weekend.. I'm really curious what the next steps are and how backer board is applied over the hotmop.. so confused.. LOL
Your an amazing person ,thanks for your positive thoughts and educational videos
Great video. It went into much more detail and the cut away made me feel much more able to take on my shower.
Loved the message at the end!! Thank you :)
After preslop and redguard, instead of another layer of deck mud, I'm thinking about using half inch cement board in a linear drain application to eliminate risk of crack. Cement board used as floor tile backer and uncoupler on wood sub floor and I don't see why it can not be used in this situation. Have you or any one did this way?
Good recap. I RedGard the shower curb (after the liner is in) before I put in the shower floor (I always construct a pre-slope then put in the PVC liner). I find many tilers don't do this due to the additional time required.
Pre-sloped under the liner isn't optional anywhere I've worked its a codified issue
I both understand and don't understand the need for the rock/stones around the drain to "protect" the weep holes. We have already established that water that gets under your tile is able to travel multiple feet through your top layer of deck mud and then theoretically sheds along the waterproof membrane to the drain, but we are now assuming that it will be unable to penetrate the last 1" through the drain if deck mud is there instead of stones? Always seemed kind of goofy to me. Either way, fantastic video, incredibly helpful for the overall best practice.
God bless for the knowledge but most great full for the end message. I am healing and reminders to keep fighting to stay in the light only brightens the path of life. Thank you 🙏🏼
