I'm confused... I thought the foam was supposed to fill the whole cavity between the studs, from the outside wall to the cement board?

Contractors suck. They always bitch about each other, too.

What a douchebag.
Zippy, you could probably tile. If you can spread peanut butter on bread, it ain't much different spreading mud with a notched trowel. Then stick the jammies on there. Black and Decker makes a good how to book on tiles. Fine Homebuilding's is ok too, but a bit more advanced. Dealing with prima donna tile guys sucks. Ps I'm digging Bro. Dave. Thanks. I'm sending you a Patton Oswalt.

You are totally capable of doing your own tile if you can't find someone. I did my shower and let's face it if I can do it it doesn't take big skills. That said, tile is not fun like wood-working or sex so...

How is a tile floor like a man?
Lay it right the first time and you can walk all over it for the rest of your life.
