this product clear does what you expect it to do. It displaces the water from the deck away from the basement concrete exterior. It keeps me dry when I go into my home office. Initially we found a leak that was due to the flashing on the deck was not properly caulked. The vendor applied silicone caulk and fixed the problem.

Advice:

Dont rely on your husband. Take action and get things done.

If you need to paint, do it before you install the shelves. This is a mistake we made. We will try to touch up around the shelves but it makes everything very nerve-racking.

Advice:

You can do this yourself, it's just a lot of work.

Do back-butter the tile.

Do rent or buy a wet saw if you have more tile projects.

Don't do any of the plumbing if there is an issue.

Was a lot of work tearing out the old concrete tile base. Since it had a wire mesh on the bottom it was easier to tear it out. Next measure and cut hardibacker with a circular saw blade made for cement board. Find the floor studs and screw with the proper type of screw that is coated and protected from moisture. Lay out the first row of tiles and mark with a pencil. Spread out the thin-set and back butter the tile. Once the first row is laid out straight the rest of the tiling is easy. Use a wet saw to cut around the toilet and vanity. Setting the toilet should be easy if your surface does not change more than 1/4 inch. I had to call in a plumber to reset my toilet since the drain pipe was almost an inch higher than the floor, other than that, it was easy to install the toilet.
