BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Unable to get any bullnose pieces for the edges?White grout in the soap recess to add to the contrast, looks wayyyyy better than the grey would have. Glad I decided to pay the extra cost to buy the different grout.

I have bullnose going ok that bottom shelf, I opted to go with a hard corner look for the sides, should look good when it's all grouted and done.

@memphsdad Great work, bro! Very inspiring to me as we look to buy a house that may need a little work like this.

It is frustrating, annoying, and time consuming....but it is also very rewarding. Good luck brother!@memphsdad Great work, bro! Very inspiring to me as we look to buy a house that may need a little work like this.

I know I've been slacking on updating this. Bathroom is still a work in progress but it's all small details for the most part now. No pics, will get some up soon when I can.
-I am done with 99% of tile, thankfully. A bit of grouting still needs to be done but it shouldn't be too lengthy of a process. I have one small issue and it is along the very top of the shower between the last row of tile and the ceiling. The gap is big enough that grouting it would probably look ridiculous, but small enough (and uneven enough due to sloping walls in an old house) that cutting tile for it is no small task.
-All drywall is in, taped and mudded. Will be texturing the walls and painting hopefully this weekend.
-Baseboards need to be cut, painted, and installed.
-Toilet is in and working. Sink will be going in this weekend hopefully.

The above leads me to a question that hopefully someone can lean me in the right direction on.
Texturing walls.
I read an article by Bob Vila that says you can just apply joint compound topically to the walls and use a sponge to create texture? Seems easy enough and I have tons of industrial joint compound on hand which would make it cheap.
I have also considered buying one of those ready to go spray cans from lowes for spraying on texture.
Looking to do this with as little hassle as possible, any recommendations would be great.
