I hadn't had a chance to see my sister in about a decade, and got to go home for a week near Christmas to visit with family. My sister made me tile her shower, after her husband had put the tray down and coated the drywall with that waterproof poo poo.

I don't know why she made me do it, because I had never tiled before, but it came out OK. My grout lines were poo poo, and if I had to shower in it every day I'd go mad from looking at crooked time, but free labor is free labor.



edit: it took all goddamn week, about 5 hours a day.

300 including tiles? Pony up the cash. Seriously tilting is relatively easy, but it is also relatively easy to botch in many little ways that add up to ruin the result. And if you have to cut tiles properly, good luck, that is really difficult without proper tools.

Like was said before material costs are going to be up in the 200s I guess.

If you have even the slightest bit of OCD in you, you will notice your uneven tiling every time you are in your kitchen... please don't ask me about the bathroom I was tricked into helping to tile. I am just happy it isn't my own. The guy who said he has experience did a worse job than 25 year old me (I had never done it before), and my side looked definitely "homemade".

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Sincerely,

The difference between good and bad tiling becomes evident pretty quickly when your looking at it every day for the next 10 years

I'd get a pro .

you should start the project witha kiln and fire your own tiles. hardware store tiles are extremely expensive and may run you in the dozens of dollars. i know a DIYer like yourself appreciates the value of home made tiles

good advice from a poster we can all trust

Nice of you to put a seat in the shower so your sister's morbidly obese family doesn't have to stand for 10 minutes a day.

Nah they're all pretty slender people. My mom instilled a hatred of cat people in all of us from a young age. As to whether it's a testament to DIY or a plea for a professional, decide for yourself. I really don't care, just don't make me do it. Tiling loving sucks.

I admire your gumption for DIY, but I'd stare at that 1/2" grout line on the seat for decades and think of why I was such a cheap rear end.

Agreed, but again: not my shower. Was home to my sister, and she decided that I was going to break my tile virginity on her shower.

we tiled a lot of poo poo but we did our bathroom with radiant heat underneath the floor and with body sprayers in the shower, it owns

what didn't own on that project was my wife deciding she didn't like the first grout color we put down so we had to loving dremel and rotozip that poo poo out and then put a different one in

also what owns is the tile saw we have with a slider and miter / plunge cut capability, but that saw alone was more than op was quoted to tile whatever it is
