Imgur share: http://ift.tt/2oWUaD0 am creating a walk-in shower in our master bath, having removed a fiberglass insert. I used 1/2" hardibacker and as you can see have butted it up against the pre-existing drywall which has been previously plastered. There is a height difference between the two of about 1/8" and a contracting buddy suggested I use joint compound to feather out the difference until it's no longer noticeable. As you can see I applied a first coat but the difference is still highly noticeable and I'm worried that going this route would use an incredible amount of joint compound. Am I going the right way with this and should just keep adding joint compound out until it's gone, or is there a completely different angle that I should take? I have completed most of the work for the shower but will hire a tiler to complete this part of the job.We are going to be using long tile on the wall from the shower to the end of the wall and I want to ensure that the tiler has a good substrate to work with. I've seen a number of suggestions online and I'm just unsure of what to do here.The gap in the ceiling was where a partition was used and we have thus removed. I will be filling in the gap this weekend with the hardiboard that I have remaining. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2twdLhT
