Hi Steve, and welcome. We've moved your post out of that other long thread since that one is more like a "what's your experience with..." type of thread.

As to whether the CQ will hold up or not,...

Welcome, Carl,

The gritty substance is likely grout, and it could well be that someone previously added some type of caulk over those joints in an attempt to seal the joints.

To re-grout those...

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either, but between that piece that Phil linked to, and all the online chatter I read when I was researching them, I opted out. And I really, really wanted to use...

I'd use plastic on the top and bottom. You might never have to demo it again but someone will. ;)

I looked into those splicers when I remodeled my kitchen, Phil, and uncovered the same article you linked to.

Looks like a Grohe wall Elbow, Mark, and as you can see from the slot in the cover it allows for a lot of wiggle room.

Pipe nipples are generally offered in 1/2" increments. You do not need a...

Turned out very nice, Mark. Some new, some old, nice mix. I especially like the high windows on the entry door wall, lets in some light from the hallway.

Since the staining is just on the surface, and the wood seems solid, just clean it off. It doesn't appear to be actively growing. I would want to peel back that insulation to make sure there isn't...

Pete, when I did my master bath I wanted curbless shower, and decidedly not a standard size. The only way I could pull it off was a foam pan. At the time USG was in the business of offering shower...

Even if you picked up only 3" in the shower, Pete, that's huge for a shower IMO. Could easily mean the difference between bumping your elbows against the walls, or not. If you intend to keep the tub...

My take? Since sealers are not permeant I wouldn't bother unless I resolved myself to reapplying it every 6 months.

These day's I'm striving to reduce maintenance. ;)

Welcome, Ryan,

It looks to me that a tub to shower conversion was done, and the receptor used is a pre-fab one piece unit. Dollars to donuts that the manufacture of the receptor did not include...

Phil,

1) You can use drywall shims, install them with a stapler.

2) The only reason I'd want to use advantech is if regular 3/4" T&G B/C Exp 1 plywood turns out to be either slightly thinner or...

I vote for John's vote, Pete. :)

The wall dividing the shower from the tub looks thick. That's probably because, to keep costs down, the build used "standard" size tub and shower base. if you...

Welcome, Stephanie,

Are you certain the first layer of subfloor is 1/2"? If it is, it's not tongue and groove. Do you know if it is plywood or OSB? And the 2nd layer, certain it's 5/8" ? Is it...

Some people do like to add water proofing to the main floor. Note,...
