Installing a Mortar Bed for a shower is a job that can be done by almost any homeowner. It doesn’t require an extensive list of tools, the techniques are pretty basic and it’s pretty easy to tell if you’re doing the job right.

Unfortunately, without knowing the right techniques, doing the job wrong is easy too.

Add this DVD to your tool box and you’ll see step-by-step instructions that will show you how to make the perfect base for your tile installation. Master Plumber, Master Carpenter and nationally syndicated columnist Tim Carter will walk you through the easy-to-follow instructions that guarantee you’ll end up with a job you’ll be proud of.

In this DVD, Tim Carter shows you everything you need to know to install a mortar bed for a tile shower, including:

Tool and materials lists that show you exactly what you’ll need and will save you aggravating trips to the hardware store.
Details on how to get the “right” mud mix—not too wet and not too dry.
How to set the drain strainer height and how to make sure that the water in your shower will run right down the drain.
Proven techniques to help you create the proper slope.
Using oak strips to “screed” the surface of your shower. Making the perfect base for your tile installation.
Installing a marble seat right into the mud.
Preparing your shower for tile.
Tips on installing cement board and how to keep it dry.
