Is there a easy method to apply hydraulic water stop cement to the area where the wall meets the floor without making a mess. Thank you very much
Yes and no. The good thing is that is dries really fast and you can use a wire brush to help clean the surrounding areas after filling the crack or hole. Just don't let the mix get to dry before using the wire brush. Also, when doing this, use the coldest water and it will cure more slower.
Help? Do I just lay new thinset on top or what?
That's what a friend and I did when we couldn't get the old thinset up off his kitchen floor. We just laid down some more thinset so the floor was level all the way across.

We are going to remove the vinyl flooring. It has a 1/4in sub floor over hardwood.
Are you saying hardwood and not the ply wood sub floor? You can t go over hard wood with tile, even with a backer board.There is to much movement and expansion and contraction . Must remove this too. Now if you mean sub floor then yes it s very important that you do cement board ( 1/2) you need this total thickness in substrate to meet tile codes 1 1/4 minimum.This must be layed properly in a bed a thin set and nail well.

Yesterday I started a job at a warehouse store. This store, being a warehouse has cement floors. I have a pair of walking shoes I wear with added inserts for more comfort, but after my shift yesterday, I could barely walk because of the pain in my hips, knees, foot/leg joint, and my ankles. I know that arthritis runs in my family, and that other family members have had problems when dealing with cement floors. I'm only 23, but I know arthritis can start that young (I also know my knees are total crap because of sports). So my question is, could this pain be from walking on the cement floors all day, or is this just random? I never had this happen this bad before, and have never had to be on cement floors that long either.
Ya, walking on a hard surface and also standing on it full day will put a lot of stress on the legs and also it causes the muscles to cramp. It can be due to the overuse of the knees or as you say your family members have Arthritis that can also be the reason.
I am building a balcony. We were going to do tile, but may do a waterproof product instead. There is currently cement board glued (not screwed) to the torch down. Screws were not used because we don't want to have an area where water can seep in. Now I am worried about the glue failing and the cement boards lifting (same issue with tile come to think of it). Is the glue enough to hold down the cement board so I won't have problems in the future?
If your to do ceramic tile then yes you need to screw and glue: it down. This glue isnt really to hold it down like most people think, its part of the support base for ceramic. You still must nail or screw it down in the require amount in the field ( 8 on center and seams a minimum of 4/6 apart.) If you live in a climate that gets cold enough for freezing , the I recommend you don t use a ceramic or porcelain tile ( frost proof or not) Using a cement board isn t the proper way to do an exposed balcony , even to rain. You need to treat it as a shower flooring and use a drain , liner , and s special cement to form a slight slope to the drain from all direction. It is possible ( Ive never done it yet) to properly do a cement board and water proof the top . The water proofing will have to be flashed up the sides to make a water proof flooring and still incorporate a draining system.
