My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bathroom tile - kids bath

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Hi guys! The first tile went down in our reno and I love it. Thought I'd share a picture. This is the ceramic made-to-look-like-cement tile from HD if anyone is interested (I got mine from wayfair since it was a little cheaper and no tax).

    I don't want to second guess you're work and be a Debbie Downer, but it looks like there is an open seam in your backer board. The seam should be taped with alkali resistant fiberglass tape and filled with thinset. Not doing this might result in broken tiles in the future.
