Thump's Wall

Thump forum is alive and well!

Maybe Trump can help build a new wall around it.

Crocs back for Valentine's day

Maybe he can get Mexico to pay for it.

All that ndidn't fall out, I pulled out all the pieces around it that
were about to fall.  Should have taken a little more but it's
holding as it is.

I took off some of the remaining tiles by prying then a little
with a screwdriver.  I'd probably be a little further along but
your Ma said I can't take the crap out and dump it somewhere,
have to send it out a little at a time in the garbage.

You can see the 4 inch horizontal space on the bottom where the
pink insulation is showing.  That's all that isn't covered with
protective film.  Then exposed "concrete" wall panel that's used
instead of drywall.  Sucks, I'm going to replace that with
something else.  Over that then I'll put some water proof panel,
maybe coroplast.  Be easy to replace the next time then.

Ok, the bathtub won't come out, I'd have to take down a wall.
Can't do a compolete remodel.  We wanted a new tub.

Just going to replace the one wall with the window,  I didn't
want to use the cement board, heavy, awarkward and as you
can see from the picture it doesn't hold up well.

Was thinking about using insulation board, I love it and it's
so easy to work with.  Might be a little weak if someone fell
into it so wasn't sure.  Don't want to forget it though.

Found two new materials on youtube:

-- by Home Repair Tutor

Writing it now 'cause I'm going to bed and don't want to forget.
Kerdi board
Wedi buildint panel
Both lighter and easier to work with.
I'll check Home Depot after I get up.

[b]An update on Thump's Wall:

Nice job Thump! Who knew you were so skilled!

Wasn't me that did it, we hired a guy Honey met at a yard
sale. He did it just like I told him and did a fine job.

He's in the kitchen right now going to put a patch under the
sind where the water had dissolved the particle board.

Wow, finally found somebody to do some work for you. I'm always stunned you have such a problem getting reliable help.
