Many people think that the tile in a shower makes it leak proof, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It's the shower pan liner. A correctly installed shower pan liner is like a membrane bowl that keeps the sub floor dry and helps move the water to the drain. It also makes the perfect base for the mortar bed for your tile floor.
Install a shower pan liner correctly and it will last a life time. Use the wrong materials or make the slightest error, and you could have gallons of water leaking through your
bathroom floor. What a mess. This comprehensive DVD features Master Plumber and syndicated columnist Tim Carter. With over 30 years of experience
Tim will show you easy to follow instructions and detail information including:
* Tool lists that include everything you'll need to do the job right
* Descriptions of the different types of membrane liners--along with recommendations on which ones work and which ones don't
* Framing tips that will save you time and frustration when you install wall tile
* The right way to install a drain assembly
* How to create a sloped base on your sub floor
* Liner buying tips

This video is short and to the point. The demonstration is clear and easy to follow. He goes over laying a foundation then installing a liner on top of it. He covers the three types of liner materials and several gotcha's to watch out for when installing them. Definitely worth watching if you plan to try a projects like this on.

This is an excellent DVD. I watched this and how to pour the cement mud floor. My only wish is that there was a third in the series that told how to complete the shower. I had no interest in doing a "do it yourself" projects however the local "professional" was so inept and slipshod that I fired him and decided to do it myself. Fortunately, this DVD showed me the correct way to proceed.

Very professionally produced. Very brief. The framing method demonstrated will save you time and frustration. Well worth renting.

The information was decent, but for $9.99 I think the next DVD showing the mortar bed and walls should be included.

I've been a tradesman for 20 years & experience in a lot of home projects from major to minor. I give these videos high scores because of the pro who explained the procedure. If I've learned anything over the years its that you have to have a plan & there is a system to every project. My knowledge was limited in this particular area. 100% thank you for the tips & the know how.
very enthusiastically, John Bagwell
