I'm confused... I thought the foam was supposed to fill the whole cavity between the studs, from the outside wall to the cement board?

Looking really good!

First Bruce , as we dont Live in the Great White North so we dont have to insulate our walls to R97 or sum such ,
we got sideing a few years ago and they put in a 1/2 inch of Styrofoam Insulation( That added a few Rs ) ,
this spray foam adds 7 R per inch , I sprayer it on thick so its Prolly generly R10- 12 ish

Ok Now to the NSFW Part ,
This Pussy Ass Fucking Tile Guy that WAS Going to do our Job , Showed up Wednesday , Said , Oh This and This Needs doing Befor I can Tile , How about the Pour for the Shower floor , Oh That Needs doing Befor I can do that to , Ok I worked my Ass off All day wensday .
This Morning he shows up Past 10 am . Oh this and that needs doing , call me this afternoon , so I work my ass off again, call Him around 2:30 , Oh its To Late in the day to pour the shower floor , Ill see you in the AM , so you will pour the shower floor and get started on the tile then , Oh No ill Just work on getting the Shower ready , so when are you going to start on the tile , well im booked for Monday and tuesday so Maybe wednesday of Next week , Uh Dude , I took Off Most of this week so I could be here while you work , Well sorry but if the Area was Prepped I Could have gotten Started , wernt You supposed to Prep the Area , Oh No You were Supposed to have the Area Prepped for me , so All you are doing is Laying the tiles , Yeah and Building the shower , But I Did ALL the Grunt work , Well WE DONT hang cement Board,,,,
But your Quote was to Build the shower from the studs up , But we Dont hang Cement Board ,
At This Point I am About ready to tel him , Look drop off the supply's we Have Paid for and Go AWAY , But I am Trying to get along , so I say Fine Ill see you in the am
Carol gets Home , I tell her whats Up ,she is WAY upset , calls dudes Boss , Boss man says He Will be there in the AM , Pour the shower floor and get started on the tile while that Dries ,
SO We go to Lowes to get the Wains coating to get started Painting or Staining ( We Still dont Know yet ) ,
Pussy Ass tile Dude calls ME ( Not her ) and Basically says he doesn't WANT to do the Job , because he feels he couldnt do it to HER satisfaction . I say Fine , come in the Morning , Drop Off the supplys that we have All ready paid for and we will part ways .
FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK !!!!! I didnt need this !!! Now we Have to find a new tile dude , explain to him whats up , take time off to deal with All this AGAIN , and FFFFUUUUCCCKKKK !!!!

Contractors suck. They always bitch about each other, too.

What a douchebag.

Zippy, you could probably tile. If you can spread peanut butter on bread, it ain't much different spreading mud with a notched trowel. Then stick the jammies on there. Black and Decker makes a good how to book on tiles. Fine Homebuilding's is ok too, but a bit more advanced.

Dealing with prima donna tile guys sucks.

Ps I'm digging Bro. Dave. Thanks.

I'm sending you a Patton Oswalt.

You are totally capable of doing your own tile if you can't find someone. I did my shower and let's face it if I can do it it doesn't take big skills. That said, tile is not fun like wood-working or sex so...

How is a tile floor like a man?

Lay it right the first time and you can walk all over it for the rest of your life.
