why you still can get rid of the old tub and put in a prefab fiberglass walk in shower in the same size as the tub .loose the window and go with a solar tube

What tile have you guys that have done this used?

Just basic stuff from Lowe's for mine, with the waterproofing they recommended. IIRC, it was a spray-on and I know the grout sealer was.

Are you planning to do a shelf in the shower? Well worth the trouble to install. Check out the one Twisted10 did again, (and I posted a pic in his thread. Generic beige on the floor.).

getting there! Expensive little bucket! I meant to tell you to buy it when Menards had there 11% off sale. Home Depot matches the sale with either an instant discount or an instant gift card, no mailing it in!

[#13]

I dont see redgard at my Menards store

It is expensive though.

I did not achieve the 30 mil thickness with the small bucket though

What i said was that anytime Menards runs the 11% off sale, you can go to Home depot and they will match the promotion, store wide. Instead of having to wait for a mail in rebate, they will give you the discount on the transaction or immediately give you a gift card worth 11% of your purchase.

One store gives me the discount immediately, the other gives me a gift card! And it stacks on top of any other sale they are having.

Got the ceiling textured today

Going to primer and paint everything tomorrow

and hopefully pick up some tile and maybe get started on that

depending on the paint.

Walls primed

The gal at Home Depot gave me primer for flat and eggshell paint,

not semi gloss.

How fucked am I?

ETA: have to use another primer/killz on top of previous primer

I wish I was a little further along but, oh well

I picked up the tile tonight so Im hoping to get the walls re primed tomorrow and painted Tuesday

and then start figuring out the layout on the tile.

If your walls are square, I would take it to the cieling. If not, leave some space.

Looking good. I'm hopefully buying a house in the next 60 days, and the bathroom is very dated, (70's), so I will probably be remodeling it within a year or so.

Neat

Good luck on getting it and have fun with the fixing up

if my internet picture measuring is right it looks like your showerhead will fall just a few inches above a tile
personally I would end the tile under the showerhead versus having the showerhead coming out the bottom few inches of a 12" tile
its one of those things that makes OCD people cry

We're working on that

Have to be able to have the trim piece fit tightly to the wall or tile

Obviously cant be partially on one side or the other

A guy whose tile blog I read recommends Spectralock Epoxy grout. It's what I bought for my bathroom. Haven't used it yet, though.

spectra lock and proma extreme are two of my favorites. ive used both in my house.

FYI, they are no fun to work with and are absolutely miserable to clean up after
