Hi Oliver,

That was the plan all along, I think you missed my post about just tiling a 
huge bathroom project in the house.

I have left over Wonderboard (I call it concrete backerboard which might have 
been confusing).

I haven't seen epoxy thinset, I'll check it out.

I love epoxy grout. I did the kitchen counters and the whole bathroom in 
it... not in my trailer, in the house where I spend the winters. 

Thanks for the encouragement... I really am psyched. One problem with 
learning how to tile is you want to tile everything <g>
