Day one. Lets start of with a great photo of CJ cleaning my problem chiled back wall to apply Second Skin SPL tiles and Damp Pro.

All clean moving on..

Let me say these SPL tiles total rock see me recent second skin review for more info.

Damp pro on below the SPL tiles that was fun..

Added the rest of my damp pro at the bottom of the wall there.

So on to the floor. First of let me tell you NEVER EVER BUY EDEAD 45 MIL. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Read my Second Skin review for more info.

Done for the night, Second Skin Damp Pro Done, Second Skin SPL Tiles Done, Edead 45 mil done.

Ok we put edead v3 on top of all second skin and edead and part of the floor. 2x4 to help brace my back wall.

I can put that box any way I had port forward before sub up and back sounds louder but need a tl. Open to other ways I can turn the box any way but upside down.. lol
