How to hire the right contractor was such a huge hit with you guys that I had to bring him back.
My Cincinnati contractor Joe Wood, from All Round Joe is back on the podcast to talk about the most popular shower on the internet...or what Apartment Therapy named "The World’s First Shiplap Shower"!

Joe and I created this bathroom project over four years ago and believe or not, 50% of my website traffic is still coming from this project! People REALLY want to know how to make a Shiplap Shower, so on this episode we decided to explain the creative process and how we executed it, the lessons learned, and obviously, the products that we used to create 'the masterpiece of the century'.

During our conversation, we also discuss the 'Does and Don'ts' of product matching, why you should always follow the manufacturer's directions (shout out to the reps at Sherwin Williams!) and the one thing that you need to know to make this a full waterproof system!

Also stay tuned to hear about Shiplap Shower 2.0!

Takeaways from this episode:
-Be empowered to try concepts no one has tried before and be creative with materials!
-Knowledge is key: if you're unsure of how a product will react with another one, don't be afraid to pick up a phone to get some answers from the manufacturer!
-How you 'Prep' can make or break a project.
-Using our Shiplap Shower method, you'll never have to clean grout ever again!
-Take the time to experiment and test the materials before you apply it, don't rush the process.
-If you have an idea, find a contractor who is willing to do the research to make it happen.
