Our Shower

Thomas has been under the house a few times throughout our first year here. He noticed a wet board in our bathroom area that stayed wet so we investigated. It was under our main shower and it seemed the only way to fix it was to dig up the shower floor. A year in our new house and we have to fix something. Of course we called Jeremy and working with Daniel (the guy who installed the shower) they came up with a game plan.
First, tear out the old floor and then let the floor dry. Daniel thinks that some cracks may have been the cause of the leak.

It seems the bladder was not up high enough and when the water hit the far wall it was seeping under and into the boards.

After the floor was dry lay down a black sludge type material for future protection. At this point Daniel has become very unreliable in this project which was started at the end of July, it is now the end of August, time to call in someone else!

Once the new people get in they line the shower floor with the bladder and other materials.

Finally, its time to lay the tiles! The new guys were very helpful they fixed the shower shelf during this process also!

We have a nice new shower that has been done correctly with no more leaks!

On a side note, Daniel was a guy who did many projects in our home during the building process. We were never very happy with his work and this was only another disappointment. Kelley and Jeremy are also disappointed in his reliability and work ethic and have said they will not use him for future projects. Unfortunately, when you do projects like this you have a fine line to work around you do the best you can with what you have!
