Help!--Can I pour gypcrete floor over gypcrete floor?
Comments (1)If it was really Gyp-Crete that was used you might want to contact the technical department at Maxxon. When I was contemplating using Gyp-Crete for sound deadening I only spoke with licenced applicators....See MoreNeed help with DIY wood floor for shed
Comments (4)Oh, thanks, I didn't know that about the books. I thought using a slab, but for several reasons I think a slab at this site would be impractical. #1 The site is about 80-100 horizontal feet UPHILL of the closest that a cement truck could drive to the site. #2 The whole backyard is on a slope. The site for the shed is on one of the higher and more level spots, but that still makes the ground almost 2 feet higher on one side than the other #3 I've guesstimated that building the floor this way would cost at least less than half, and maybe less than a third as much as pouring a level slab on the site....See MoreHELP! addition slab is poured, what to do about existing pipe?
Comments (6)We have steel cables in the slab where the addition joins existing. I have a metal detector. But My son has a metal detector. I guess its worth a shot. I saw a hole in the wall next to the master tub and next to the master sink. But I guess that particular pipe wasn't there. Capping it off at the slab isn't a good option, right? That's just asking for leaks in the future, right??...See MoreTiling pre-existing cement shower floor pan?
Comments (4)I suppose you could Redguard it and tile away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Personally, I would rebuild it....but you say that's not an option. We really don't know if there is a vinyl/rubber liner under the mudbed...nor do you, apparently....and a redguard membrane, if that is the case, is superfluous. At this point, just paint the stuff on and tile away. It may last awhile...it may last forever. You pays your money and you takes your chances.......See MorePines Everywhere
