Wife and my tub install and tile job.
My wife and I have done tiling, but this is our first shower and bathtub. It is a brand new tub, and new shower hardware with white "subway" tile and white grout. The niches need to have the borders finished, and they by far were the hardest part of the job trying to figure out height, size, depth, pattern alone much less getting the tiles to line up near perfect with the other lines. The border and shelves were all issues to figure out as well. I did the plumbing as well, and the shower drain was the bitch there. I didn't have one pin hole even on the pipe sweats though. We have done everything in this house ourselves incuding flooring, cabinets, lighting, and many other things. It will have almost 100 percent builder grade to nicer everything by the time we finish. Next will be vanities and flooring in this bathroom. I am a psychotherapist by trade, so this isn't my day job. We learned a lot of stuff from my father inlaws rentals, and social media though. I wish more people would learn they dont5have to pay over priced contractors who f*ck the jobs up half the time. Anyway, maybe I will post some of the other money pit projects. submitted by /u/Marsnineteen75 [link] [comments]
