Nice job!
I know how time consuming tile is if you don't do it all the time, but you can admire your handy work for a long time after.Looks great so far. Can't wait to see the finished product!!

The last bathroom floor I did was with 1/16th inch spacers, 12 x 12 tile. I did everything I could to water proof it. It looked good for thr 2 1/2 years I saw it. But 1 1/2 years later, it looks crapey.
So to recap... You dont like central heat and air and you would prefer linoleum???? hmmmmm!!! ok den!Quote:

Not trying to hijack your thread, just thought I'd share what I did to mine. I did use the roll on water proof material under the shower and on the walls. I agree with re-applying the sealer. I do mine every 4 months now. Its easy enough to do and I hoe it helps in the long run. Your tile job looks really good on your shower.

No, I don't like linoleum. I have it here in the kitchen. I move anything on the floor and it tears. I didn't put it down, it was a crappy job. I have duct tape everywhere on it.
I've used the 2 1/2 gal. jugs of silicone based liq. instead of water on all the floors I've done. It claims to not have to be sealed. But it does need it.
I have central air in all my houses. All have been upgraded to do a better job than what was installed when the houses were new. This one isn't mine, so I won't put the money into it.
very nice work. We done one like your angle shower in the pic about a year ago. Man thats a pain setting tiles on a ceiling huh. we used screws and fender washers to hold them up until the thin set dried. Dirty dirty job.Quote:

But if your sealing it like you say it will be good for long time to come. And that is one fine tile job in your pics. Musta worn u out if you done it all by yourself. Lot of steps back and forth to the saw huh?
I have never laid a tile before and I did do it by myself, wasn't in any hurry. I did a lot of studying before I started. Took me about a month, but I have 3 full baths in my house, so I wasnt rushed. The shower was made of marble panels. Like you, I used the rollon waterproofing so if it seeps thru the grout, the frame will be ok. Our neighborhood houses were built around 10-12 years ago and the marble showers are coming out left and right, everyone of them are leaking. It's not so much for the walls, its more so that the pans are giving around the drain or where the bottom of the marble sets on the pan and water's getting under them.
