Hello, I'm brand new here. This forum keeps popping up when I search for information about waterproofing earthen plasters - so I figured I should join. I'm building a small studio inside a 120 year old timber barn to live in while I build the longer term strawbale and cob house. I live in northern california.
I have done several small projects, a couple ovens, small walls, etc and I've taken a couple of workshops but my experience is definitely limited.
I'd like to make the bathroom essentially a wet bathroom or at least a large open shower. I've never done any waterproof/resistant finishes. It will also be over a subfloor. Looking for any tutorials, advice, books that might help.
seems like Tadelakt is widely recommended for this sort of thing but I'm certainly open to other ideas! That's just what I keep seeing suggested. I would like there to be a seamless (or rather bumpless) transition from the bathroom floor to the shower. I don't think the same level of water resistance would be needed for the entire bathroom as for the shower area so I'm wondering about suggestions for that as well.
