[QUOTE="LesD, post: 205326"] I got the old floorboards out using my Black & Decker electric saw that has only ever seen service lopping brances before but it did the job OK. :thumbsup: The 18 mm WBP plywood went in Wednesday evening was primed underneath and round the cut edges with Mapei Primer G and securely screwed down Thursday morning. My brother gave me a very welcome and essential hand the get the stone resin tray out of the garage, up the stairs and into the position you will see in the picture. It is bedded in nice and level on Mapei Keraquick with Latex Plus and the under layer of plain white tiles set with the same adhesive, which is also packed in as thoroughly as I can on the three walled sides of the recess. Today I have been to Tile Giant and bought some of the white Keraquick powder and I am going to use this to stick the top layer of the matching finish tile on with. These tiles are 200 mm by 300 mm and I am going to lay the long side horizontal as this reduces the number of vertical grout lines and puts them away from the ones with the plain white tiles. I am hoping that if I squeeze the white Keraquick out between the tiles that I could grout them with the Keraquick too. What do you reckon to that? This is Keraquick with Latex Plus, which I am led to believe is flexible and waterproof. If this is correct it makes the job that bit easier from my point of view. I mentioned doing this to the guy in Tile Giant and his reply was," you certainly won't be the first to do it but we wouldn't recommend it as there is a degree of porosity"! Afterwards I though, all I bought was the powder from this guy and he would not know that I was using the Latex Plus additive to mix it with instead of water so maybe I will be OK. The advice from the forum would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
