trouble shooting: Applying Silicone Like a Pro. - 02/06/08 08:35 PM

Having spent years as a glazier, I was "schooled" in the way of "tooling" silicone. I'm pretty good at "free handing", but hate the lump when reapplying pressure on the gun. This technique give me the ability of smoothing out the lumps and not making a mess.

trouble shooting: Leaking shower pan - 02/01/08 08:04 PM

I now has the correct drain and it is about 5" lower.

And here is some tile going down. With white thinset, of course.
