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.

Thanks MJ!

Got all of the hardware put in but ran into a snag with the tub spout. The spout that came with my new hardware is quite short and leaves about 1/4" gap between the tile and the end of the spout when fastened all the way on. Gonna swing by home depot on the way home and try to get something a bit longer, hopefully.

Thanks brother, I'm a huge fan of the contrast. My master bath has white tile with white grout and it's very boring, plus it gets dirty super easily.

So it's been quite a while since I was supposed to have had this done. After I got the bathroom operable, the rest sortof fell by the wayside. I'm rounding third now though. I finally finished the grouting yesterday (as you can see in the bottom left corner of the pic posted below). Also, I had someone come and tape/mud the walls and spray texture. I was going to try it myself, but after the advice of several people decided it made more sense to just pay someone to do it. Going to pick up some primer/paint this week, and hopefully get at the very least the primer coat done Friday.
Remaining:
-Primer/Paint walls and ceiling
-Baseboards
-Medicine Cabinet

I was kindof torn on going with the sliding version or not, but figured what are the odds I will need to cut 12" boards.I've got that exact saw!

Trolling troll is trolling.
Theres this fancy technique for cutting larger boards with a mitre saw. Think its called flip the board over.

Share the knowledge broI learned it from @ChuckMejia when he built his deck.
I went with the Ryobi miter saw. So far all my tools are Ryobi, really like their stuff.

The Ryobi stuff is decent for the price. I have a lot of buddies who started out with their stuff and it didn't hold up over time. With the amount of side jobs I've been doing, I needed to go with something a bit higher-end.
