Let’s not discuss how long it took to simultaneously obtain the time and the will to finish the cement boarding. Let’s also not discuss the extra hole next to the hole for the shower pipe (which is also new as of today) because thirteen and a half inches and fifteen and a half inches are not the same thing. Hell with it; there’s a board behind it and I’ll fill the fucker with mortar. It’ll be fine. And if it won’t, don’t tell me.
Next step, mortaring and taping all the seams. Then RedGard, which… well, that’ll be fun, for certain values of “fun.”
On the plus side, I managed to pull this all off without buying a new piece of cement board, which I didn’t think was gonna be possible.

And once you’re in a hell, some smart alec comes along with useful information like, “measure twice, cut once.”
Seriously, you did a good job. I once watched this guy completely demolish a piece of drywall with his bare hands in a fit of temper. It was awesome, there was nothing left but a little pile of powder.

More like “measure twice, then write the damn number down so you don’t forget it on the way from the bathroom to the garage,” but yeah. 🙂
