Hi, I live in southern California, my 1950's home is all wood on a raised foundation. The contractors have remodeled my old shower. It's insulated, the greenboard is up and the floor 'pan' has been hot mopped with tar and the two piece drain is in place. Now it's up to my wife and I to finish it off. It's my understanding, so far, that the walls need some type of backerboard then the tiles can be mudded on.
What I dont know yet is...
1) What do I do next to get the tar floor tiled? I think a layer of thin set or cement to form a nice smooth surface up to the walls, is that correct? After that are the shower floor tiles then adhered to that surface?
2) Should some type of vapor/moisture barrier be put on the greenboard prior to the backerboard? There is no vapor barrier between the insulation and the greenboard.
Thanks
Mike
