Re: My 1st Tile Job
Just a petty pet peeve but the shower handles look off with the tile placement

Re: My 1st Tile Job
Never forget that Quarter round and Bull nose tiles are your friend's.
It does get easier as you go too! |

Re: My 1st Tile Job
Why is there a tub spout in the shower?

Re: My 1st Tile Job
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?

Re: My 1st Tile Job
well that shower is in a basement, so the tub spout is for filling buckets of water or what ever els you would like to fill. isnt taking your shoe of at the door a worldwide thing? not just a asian/ indian thing

Re: My 1st Tile Job
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?? |

Re: My 1st Tile Job
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.

Re: My 1st Tile Job
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.
