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>
