    So embarrassed. I just went back and re-read my last post. I most certainly did not mean to say "least of all" when thanking Terry and Jim. I meant to say MOST of all. Sorry for that oversight. -Hal

    A few thoughts on the project: With all the continual hits to this "1924" thread I suppose I should add a few notes before I slip into forgetfulness. I LOVE Sharkbite fittings. So versatile, easy and in some situations cost effective compared to traditional ways. Embrace technology...

    Back from the rabbit hole. Sorry I haven't kept current with project development but I've been too busy to even download images. Just a few details to attend to and this project will be but a bad memory. Compared to my kitchen reno, this was a B#%$h! (four pics max per post , What gives there?)

    1924... bathroom remodel

    Historically interesting.. How (common) bath floors were put down in 1890-ish: ps. Enlarge and read the "easy, how to do". I guess we just make a big deal about things like this these days. That's how I'm going to approach it; easy-does-it. Interesting formula for the deck mud. I...

    mixing deck mud question

    Basic I know, but I've never heard this asked. I'll be mixing 650 lbs of mud to complete my bath floor. Since I'll be doing it solo, mixing and laying, will there be a problem or concerns about it setting between mixes. Probably mixing 1/4 to 1/5 at a time. What precautions or techniques...

    Ok you sadists... To top off a second 12 hour "delicate" rip-out" , I spotted this hanging "chad" of ancient (biblical age) Bx cable that I had disconnected from the only electrical feature, a single light bulb, 10 hrs. earlier. I previously had spent a couple hours rewiring...

    or: or, would a standard mud deck mix ( at 2.5") be stiff enough?

    Testing Idea #2 still pondering...pour a rather dry-ish portland cement bed (2.5") w/ pencil rebar to create a "floating" floor.(????) - H.

    how does this sound.. drop in 3/4" ply. Mud deck with 16/16-guage 2x2 wire mesh embedded.? I just need to calculate the amount of mix and sand . How do I do that with the Deck Mud Calculator since there won't be slope? Just over calculate?

    existing joist structure I can't factor a joist equation into this. Just can't. There is a bad joist or two...can only do minimal fix only. Sorry.

    subfloor question I'm deep in it. Gutted all , toilet, sink out. Tub next. Pulling old floor up to joists. There is currently 3" of material: 1/2 " flooring, mud deck, 1/8" tile. What do you suggest I use to restore floor height. I need the full 3" for rigidity. ps. replacing...

    1924 was the last time this bath was Reno'd. Hey Guys, Hal here. Sure, it's got a toilet that's "just" 25 years young. And I put up donated tile five years later. The dimensions are a GYE-normous 3 X 7 feet! One has to exhale just to turn around in it. It's our only Bath. But we do have a half...
