That looks great. Wife's remodel (walk in shower, etc) should be finished by the end of the month. She also went with white tiling. I'll load pics when it's complete.Quote:

We just did a rebuild on our master bathroom last year, 30 year old house. New walk in shower, sinks, fixtuers, mirrors, lights, and paint. Paid a local to do the job, was worth the time and money. Only mistake picked a color paint that looked good in store was a different color on walls. still not bad...Working on Project number 2 now, deck down and haul off, concreat pad 20 by 20 done, roof over pad in july, ...
Did a to the studs remodel of our master bath last year. I'm a programmer, but good with carpentry, wiring, plumbing and tiling, so I did all but the drywall finishing. Took longer than I thought it would, but we have 2 other full bathrooms. Wife loves the results. I have never used "her" bathroom. I do like the look of the large format tile she picked out though.
Nice job!
Friend of mine just did his bathroom and installed a bidet. He claims once you try one, you can never go back. Today’s bidet apparently comes with multiple jets, Bluetooth remote to direct and save jet setting, and water heater to warm the spray.
Have a friend that put in one of those high-dollar toilets that are heated, bidet, etc. They ain't cheap. Wife had several back surgeries, and the bidet was a marriage saver. I've seen them go for as much as $13K!Quote:

If redoing shower, I recommend using a prefabricated pan instead of tile. Most diy guys can not get a mud pan and tile sloped perfect to the drain.
Put at least one gfci horizontal right above where vanity back splash will be
With thirty five years in the business i Always say there are two types of tile layers, those that can do backsplashes and floors and those who correctly know how to build a shower.
Do thisQuote:

It was a seat that you add to your existing toilet. $600. And it's a nice one. That along with the heated floors are my favorite part of the remodel.Quote:

If you're dealing with gaps or uneven surfaces, sealing them properly makes a big difference. I had similar issues, and a good-quality sealant worked wonders. Also, if you're considering skirting boards for a cleaner finish, mdfskirtingworld.co.uk has solid options that are easy to work with and look great once installed. A little patience with measuring and cutting makes everything fit much better.

A little pricier but easy to work with. With tile showers you always count on water getting past the tile/grout so the wall needs to be water proof. Backer board is water resistent but will absorb water.
Good luck to you buddy, it should be an adventure any way it goes.
I sure hope this thing is finished by now
