*Update* So turns out the original caulk is still not holding up. After doing more and more research on the product Keracaulk (siliconised acrylic) is just not holding up to the movement in the tub of everyday use. Thankfully there was a store not too far from me that sold a color match in...

Appreciate the response! It looks like grout but it is indeed the grout caulk to match the grout color. I was curious about this grout caulk and thought it may only be used for tile to tile joints (ie inside/outside corners) and not tile to dissimilar but after looking at the back of the tube...

Thanks! Appreciate the advice!

Thanks! That's what I was thinking as well but just wanted to double check with people who are more familiar with doing things like this. Any recommendations for removing the old caulk? I assume a putty knife would be sufficient? Would it be best to remove along the whole length of the tub...

Agreed it does and i'm hoping they did not just grout that as the tube of caulk is open and I know they caulked all the vertical inside corners and along the head at the ceiling so I'm hoping they did caulk at the base but it does look oddly similar.

There is no upturn flange around the tub, it just turns down around all (4) sides. The tile does sit on top (minus a caulk joint) and the tub runs through. I'm thinking with the use of the tub and the movement the tub was getting it possibly just flexed that joint too much causing the crack...

Hopefully this is the correct forum for this but just looking for a little advice on how to approach recaulking where the my tub meet my tile. Mid August I had all the tile around my tub redone (ie remove all old tile and backer board and installed all new kerdi board and tile (tub remained and...

Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for filling me in on the ridge cap!

That would make sense as I mentioned you can see the asphalt shingles on the one side and it’s under the fiber mesh closest to the board. It feels very tightly woven, I would assume air can vent through that? This runs all the way across the ridge opening as well for approx 20’-0”.

That I don’t know. I would assume it’s the felt as it feels like fiber strands and not a hard plastic from what I’ve been reading the underside of a cap might be like.

I’m sure this has been asked before and I search through the forum but I didn’t see what I was trying to look for. Nonetheless I believe I am having an issue with my ridge vent. I’ve noticed the 2nd floor of my townhouse seems noticeably hotter than the downstairs portion. After clearing away...

I took a couple of pictures to help. First picture is the overall back of the tub. Second picture is of the back right corner. Third picture is of the back left corner (closest to inside corner of wall). There is a height difference between the top of tub and top of tile.

Correct, I apologize if I didn't make it clear. The wall along the back side of the tub

The top of the tub and trim I believe are level to each other but if you look at the tops of the first row of tile (which is a level line/parallel to ground) you can see the height of the tile on the right is shorter than the height of the tile on the left.

Unfortunately I do not have access to the other side of the tub as its a townhouse and that wall it's leaning towards is where the cmu wall is that separates the 2 houses. Yes I understand it's used to level and not meant for an adhesive I guess my thought process is that it would bond to...
