Well Mike from my experience from the past bathroom redo's we've done mostly the Asian and India communities...I'm sure that you've removed your boots before you enter or remove them at the entry huh?

A couple of questions...
What did you install behind your tile (walls and floor)??

Why did you use a 2 handle shower faucet?? Is it pressure balanced??

Wankel made a sub-par gas guzzling oil eating flawed engine and i kick my self in the butt every time i think about how i bought the car for the looks and didn't care about all the errors- granted my rx8 does get A LOT of looks, its not worth it imo.

Sounds like you have a Mazda RX-8. I was talking about the RO-80, which was from the late 60's perhaps. A friend had one. He thought it was very innovative for the time. It had a sunroof. He told me that it was the forerunner of Audi. Maybe this explains the numbering of the Audi's-80-100, etc. now A4, A6, A8.
