Oh I'd do cement board and one of the other water barriers if was healthy but I will say the kerdi panels were really easy to work with and cut. Yes they are dense foam panels, I used the 1/2" ones to match my dry wall that was still up but I think it comes up to 1.5" thick. It is stupid expensive and I would never have done it if it were for my back/neck issues.
Here's a pan I built a couple years ago. Shite was hardwork but ultimately worth it in the end.

It got a little heated between the mrs and I. I told her the job was going to kill me with the stress (it did it to the last guy) and her response was about money.
At least lie to me and feign a small interest in my health before we talk about money. So, that took us down the wrong path. But we are better now. She still makes more than me; she could still be my sugar momma, right?

so...do I take a pay cut for sanity? Inquiring minds want to know.

How much of a cut are we talking about? In percentages... 20%? 50%? Where is your pain threshold? It is a lateral move skill set wise?
Maybe I have been in the land of Gov't contracting too long but I don't see a need to take a cut unless it is for a major career change. If you are doing the same job but for a different company, it should pay the same.
Hell, the new company should pay you more because they don't have to train you.

Nope, that was the basement bathroom. Although our master bath looked the same (since it was a smallish townhouse).
Here's what the bath originally looked like. The previous owner did a super ghetto job finishing it:

Completed pan, just needed to mortar the curb:

Finished bathroom:

It's sad that I no longer get to use the baths anymore after all the work I put into them. Our old TH is rented out now.
