after purchasing more plaster and ordering our tile, we had a productive saturday.
the bedroom window where mathew pulled off his plaster to repair the leak and rotten wood. i cut drywall to fit.
after the drywall was attached i spackled to fill in the gaps and now it’s ready for plaster. again.
mathew worked on the little shower wall. (left) making sure it is plumb. (right) attaching moisture barrier paper, then chicken wire to the shower floor.
mixing mortar in the garage.
applying the mortar to the shower floor. the plastic drain piece needs to be level and properly supported by mortar. the edges of the floor are built up and leveled.
then mortar fills in the rest so the floor slopes towards the drain.
