This is the 1st part of a Luxurious Outdoor Shower and in this instructable you'll see: How I installed the "Natural Stone" and the "Tiles". The length of the shower is 200cm & the width 100cm.
Firstly, for the mortar, add sand, cement, a little lime and water.
Then, with a plaster mixer, mix well, until all ingredients become one single mixture.
Once you have designed, with a marker, the limits of the shower on the floor, place the concrete blocks one by one.
Leave a gap at some point to lead there the water from the shower.
When you finish, let it dry for one day.
Wash the natural stones, on both sides, so that they can be placed securely on the mortar.
Place the stones one by one and give them a slight slope towards the point where we have made the gap.
When you finish, let it dry for one day.
Mix the grout, a little cement and a little sand, with water...
...to put it between the stones.
When you finish, let it dry for a while.
Now take a putty knife and remove the grout that there is on the stones.
Drag a wet sponge across the whole surface very softly, so the grout and the stone to be at the same level.
Repeat the same process several times until it is completely clean.
For the tiling, first place the ones on the side and then the ones on the top of the concrete blocks.
After you have sprinkled water on the concrete blocks, evenly spread with a plastering trowel with teeth the tile glue.
Before you place the tile, dip it in water and then press it until it is aligned with the others.
Let approximately one cm between them so that we can place the grout later.
When you finish, let it dry for one day.
Place the grout with a putty knife and press well to fill all the gaps.
After a while, take a wet sponge and clean the gaps very smoothly.
Repeat the same process several times until it is completely clean.
Let it dry for one day and then wash the whole construction very well.
At the end paint the stone and the grout with a stone varnish.
