It's really simple, Mike. The industry recommendation is for a flexible sealant in the tile surface joint any place the backing material makes a change of plane. That would apply to both your...

Understand. Likely written by an advertisement department guy who may not have been around even as long as the new types of grout. :D

My opinion; worth price charged.

I dunno 'bout that, Mike. I've seen cementitious grout that's lasted in excess of 80 years, and some of the grout types you mentioned are just barely seeing their first decade of service and one of...

None that I'm aware of, other than ease of application. Just grouting everything does have that advantage, in my opinion.

Very nice use of the photo, Mike, and I wish sometimes I had learned to use a computer to that degree.

But only sometimes. As for your use of the photo, even we Neanderthals understand the...

Yep, that'll work. Thinset mortar should be adequate to hold that trim.

Nice job, Mike. What's your plan for the tile edges around the niche?

And there's nothing at all wrong with starting with your first row as you did, and if I were to tile my shower floor first (I don't), I would do just what you did. No advantage to using a ledger...

Mike, I would consider 1/8th" to be the minimum gap there. Either the width of a grout joint or 1/8th", whichever is greater.

My opinion; worth price charged.

So long as it's below the surface of the tiles, Mike, it's fine. The optimum, I believe, is about 1/32nd of an inch below the tile.

My opinion; worth price charged.

Matters not at all, Mike, but when possible I try to stagger the sheets somewhat so the sheet lines are not aligned. Not a big deal with the type of tiles you have, but I find it easier to ensure...

I understand the rationale there, Mike. One easy way around that would be to simply not install the curb face tiles until the bathroom floor was tiled after the shower had been finished, or to...

Well, I'm not gonna argue about reasonable, but I would never intentionally tile a floor when I had to use that floor for access to tile a shower. Just doesn't make sense to me to take a chance on...

Tres interesting, Mike. I've never encountered that drop-el you have there and it does appear to defeat my concerns about plastic female threaded fittings cracking quite commonly. I thought you...

You're right, Mike, not likely to crack either the shower arm, the brass fitting, nor the IP fitting there this time. Almost certainly gonna crack that plastic drop-el instead. And I think that...

Mike, the tile industry standards call for unsanded grout in joints up to 1/8th" in width, and sanded grouts for joints 1/8th" or greater.

Sanded grout is much stronger than unsanded and less...

And that was for their half-inch panels, Mike? If so, I'll mark that down as the something new I learnt today. :)

I still wouldn't bother with the MR Board, but that's entirely up to you.

In addition to Dan's advice, if you were to use that MR Board on your ceiling in the half-inch thickness, you must reduce the joist spacing to 12" on center or less. If you use half-inch regular...

While the general lighting in a bathroom can be on a 15A circuit, I think the NEC still recommends a 20A circuit if it includes a ceiling fan. And if the fan includes heat coils of a heat lamp, the...
