That's not the old method's fault. it the dumb careless contractor's fault. Maybe the home owner's if they didn't hire a contractor. Mastic over Sheetrock in the shower? They watch too much DIY on TV. If not wood curb, what else would you use?
Hey Look, I'm not suggesting that this failure was "old school" only that respect has to be given to the unique shower environment, and it often isn't. We pour a concrete curb, won't be affected by water, stable, and strong. The wood curbs that I've taken apart, have cracks in the grout or splits in the caulking where the expansion and contraction of the wood has "worked" it over time. Cheers
