Trying to tile a custom shower.

@hat materials do you use for the heat resistance to adhere tile to? 

Put in drain tile and a sump pump and dig around the foundation and back fill with new soil - water proof first. 

Maybe get the sign of no cats/no dogs, something visual.That being said,  in 90% of our homes we   allow pets-- because of the flooring, either tile or LVPT which is nearly  waterproof and incredibly durable!      

The offsets in the clay tile presented a problem with catching debris, therefore we replaced that clay tile with PVC pipe out in front of the house.

also, how do I figure what type of counter tops,flooring,tiles, waterless tanks, etc, are better vs others as far as price and quality.  

Governments need to prioritise dealing with the route cause. having bought two tesla's I knew Musk was on to something.. he will be putting his solar roofs on all the high end homes.I looked at one for my Charleston 2 mil spec I am building but the historic district would not go for it.anything at a million I think the Telsa roof tiles will become standard along with a power wall and two tesla's in the garage.that is addressing the problem.One of my bizz partners has solar in Hawaii and I talked him into buying a Tesla.. he runs his house and car no electric bill.and elec. in Hawaii is highest in the US>for us in Oregon.. at 10pm our rate goes to 4 cents a kilowatt.. takes about 50 KW to fill my tank for the week..

New tile back splash.
