John,
I see they still haven't updated their specs on the website...they have the schematics incorrect for the vent drawings (both show the details for the air return style vent). I notified them of...

That came out looking great, Kenny! Very nice job indeed. :tup2: Those hex tiles on the ceiling are a nice touch too. What controller and/or driver did you use to power the LED strips?

Chris,
I don't see any mention of it in the thread, but wondering if you performed a flood test of the pan? Ideally at least 24 hours long. Just want to make sure you don't miss a step :)

Tom,

Are the prices listed on the MWI website reflective of the prices paid in store? I purposely didn't list them because their website prices are outrageous. For instance, MWI lists 20oz Wedi...

1) don't see why that wouldn't work. It may be best to still cover all the open gaps with metal lathe and fat mud and just finish it even with the wall. You may then waterproof right on that.

If the tile is a little proud of the niche wall, you may try filing it down by hand with a diamond file...or just leave it be. Once grouted, likely nobody gonna notice it but you, Stuart.
