Hello, Linda. Welcome to the forum. :)

I would probably go with the last option. And you could use the Schluter profile if you want, but it's not really necessary.

And you may find that if...

Or use a rapid-set mortar that you can grout in a couple of hours. You'll still need to wait a couple of days before reinstalling the water heater.

I'm a bit confused by the "1x6 .5" subfloor". Never seen or heard of such a thing. All 1x6 I've seen is 3/4" thick. Are you sure yours is 1/2"?

Lou, that's why a lot of installers elect to make their own inside corners. It's easy enough to do with a 4" square piece of Kerdi band. Cut from the middle of one side to the middle of the square,...

Pictures may help.

Do the cracks seem to follow any particular pattern, like the edges of the plywood, or the joists, or are they just randomly throughout?

They also make similar blades for oscillating tools. They're about twice the price, and not as aggressive, but easier to control.

I would rather have the metal trim as well. It looks much better.

I'd save the PVC for some project less.... visible.

I'd used a grinder to cut the end of the curb back from the wall just enough to slide the wall tile in place. A few tiny chips on the end of the marble piece won't show up nearly as much as chips in...

On the tile packaging, do you see any recommendation from the manufacturer regarding offset? Some will recommend no more than 33% or 25% offset.

If they're all that warped, I wouldn't do 50%. ...

If the grout is similar in color to the tile, you'll never see it.

I don't guess it matters at this point, but did you mix all three bags at one time? How much does each bag weigh?

So if you have peaks, they can be ground off with a grinder and a diamond cup...

I'd put a 2x8 or 2x10 in every bay, and secure the subfloor to them. Make sure they're well supported on the ends so that they have full contact with the subfloor.

Have you looked at the underside of the floor as well? It may say "Exposure 1".

But the primer is a must, in addition to the exterior glue plywood.

Gordon, 29" is an unusual spacing for joists. If that's the spacing for your deck, I think you'll likely be shy of the required deflection. Are you sure that's the spacing throughout the deck?
