Well I tried the Hardie brand so far and they work fine for me, but when I run out I'll try the others and let you know. The square tip is awesome though vs the typical phillips I've used. Got the liner in, did a water test overnight and everything looked good this morning. Got the lower part of the backer board on, two coats of Redgard on the lower edge, and got the top mortar bed done today. I used some 1/8 panel behind the back...

I was considering doing that last resort. I got the ladder yesterday and it is perfect for what I need. It is a 17' ladder and I am at the top when I get to where I need to be. I will post pics when I get done with this so you guys can see what I am doing.

Im gonna find a plumber that will replace the entire line with HDPE instead of black iron or galvanized.

before you do that try vinegar. I used to work at a lime plant near Cleburne and we used vinegar to get the lime off of everything.

I just hate looking up while watching the wall mounted tv's

Electrical shorts and gas leaks in the same house, are no bueno. Don't jack around with a gas leak. I would call someone that knows what they're doing ASAP.
