When I am installing a new shower, I always use peel and stick tar tape and 6mill plastic visqueen. 1st peel and stick the tar tape to the studs and stick to the top 1" lip of the base and staple to the studs.2nd overlay the visqueen on top of the tar tape and staple to the studs3rd properly attach your hardy board over the visqueen.

Ours did and we ended up putting a piece of plastic molding at the bottom for a better seal.

It tends to break down rubbers and some plastics including the coverings on electrical wiring.

Note the dovetail of carcass into the face frame, and no crappy plastic corner brackets.

Unfortunately, it took WAAAY longer than expected for me to recover from surgery.

I mean no disrespect to any profession , but I don't go to a barber for brain surgery if you know what I mean. 

so i was hoping to just purchase bulk roles of thicker linoleum in sheets and glue it down to the porous cleaned concrete and install painted real wood or plastic (not mdf) molding around the trim for a finished look.how much would linoleum cost per sq ft and wheres the best place to get it the cheapest around here in LAcounty?

Now if your income is declining from year to year you better have a good reason like having a baby or surgery or something major like that.

so it begins....i could foresee the future with this one right from the moment i stepped off the truck to see the house for the first time 2 months ago.the "tenants" have been dropping hints of "cancer, surgery, toddler issues, paychecks, etc" and finally didn't pay rent for the month of July.

1) I think my wife would bludgeon me with a dull object if I publicly talked about her wanting "cosmetic" surgery.
