  • 107: The VIM Shower Pan for Walk In Showers

    Want a walk-in shower?

    The first step is to find a leakproof shower pan!!

    Today’s lesson discusses the VIM level entry shower pan.

    My buddy Steve White from SRW Contracting started using the VIM shower pan for walk-in showers and simply loves it.

    VIM’s shower pan is simple to install and keeps the floor of the walk-in shower leakproof.

    You can see the system over on VIM’s website

  • 105: Taping and Finishing Drywall Corners

    Taping and finishing drywall corners is an art.

    Today’s lesson discusses how to make the corners look awesome with a few different tips.

    First you’ll have to choose which type of joint compound you want.

    Pre-mixed and setting-type joint compound are two common options.

    Pre-mixed mud takes a bit longer to setup.

    Setting-type joint compound comes in 20 minute, 45 minute, and 90 minute varieties.

    This means the mud will setup in about 20, 45, or 90 minutes.

    The key to getting great drywall corners is to stagger the mudding process.

    Listen to the podcast for all the tips :D

  • 101: How to Build a Walk-In Shower

    Walk-in showers are the new thing in bathroom remodeling.

    Today, Steve White from SRW Contracting shares how he installs this kind of shower.

    If you’ve dreamed of getting a new shower you should listen.

    Steve recommends the VIM level entry shower kit which you can research here

    http://www.vimproducts.com/

    He also likes using Schluter Ditra on wood subfloors to prevent tiles from cracking and to waterproof the entire bathroom. This is especially important when you install a walk-in shower system

    http://www.schluter.com/

    Steve also recommends the AKW curbless pan because no blocking is needed under the pan
