Good Day. Here is my plan, but I am at a loss as to how the sheetrock/tile meets up with the shower base...
I plan to install moisture proof sheetrock, but do I install the sheetrock before the acrylic base, or after? In other words, should the sheet rock be installed so as to but up with the lip on the base? If so, then I would expect I should install the ceramic to overlap the lip. If that is the process, do I then run a bead of silicone between the bottom of the last row of tiles and the base?
The only other thing I could see is installing the sheetrock first, then the base, and then running the ceramic down to but up against the lip, but then I'd be pretty afraid of water getting in there, and I have been told numerous times to not add caulk to the inside of a shower, as I could create a moisture dam.
As you can see I could use some help here. I looked for information, videos, etc. without much luck.
Thank-You!
