I started to tile a rough in shower myself. I got a bit busy at work and ended up turning the project over to a contractor.
I had already installed the PVC shower liner and check for leaks. The next step was to put in the mud with the required slope. Everything I read said to mud the curb as well.
I get back from work today and the contractor has put hardiboard on all three sides of the curb with screws thri the liner. To include screws in the hardiboard for the wall all the way down to within a 1/2 inch of the shower floor. So once there is mudd that screw could be right at the floor level.
I call him and he said I was "overthinking" this and he never had a shower leak.
What is your take?
Thanks !!
