OK, makes sense. The adhesive says 24 hours, but it sure grabs instantly.

OK, I'll nail it...although the size nail the manufacturer instructions said to use is not working - off to look for something else. No local stores rent nail guns - yes I already checked.

Time to put up the walls - I am using PVC beadboard wainscoting planks. The instructions say to use construction adhesive (the kind that says it works on pvc) AND to nail it. That seems like overkill. And the price of a nail gun will definitely blow my project budget. Has anyone ever installed...

This isn't a plumbing question, but I thought it would be good to keep all q's on the project together on one thread. Time to put up the walls - I am using PVC beadboard wainscoting planks. The instructions say to use construction adhesive (the kind that says it works on pvc) AND to nail it...

It is supposed to be daisies. It was pretty white when installed, but now it appears a lot darker gray. I assume the marble is absorbing water from the mortar. I actually prefer the darker color, but I assume it will go back to white at some point.

Here are some pics - the Kerdi Board is orange, but not quite this vivid in person, lol. Yes, there are a couple of tiles that were incorrectly cut that are going to removed and replaced. Hoping to get it finished soon!

I have been out of town since my last post - I will get some pics up later today. :)

The Bath Remodel that Never Ends, update: The tiling is going well, if slowly. Lots of weird cuts to make. I am now in a holding pattern until my special order mortar arrives. I ran out - the first bag did not go nearly as far as I thought it would. Obviously, I underestimated how much mortar...

Update - third toilet arrived - no apparent damage. Finally! Bought a new tile saw - opened it, and it was obviously used - full of dirt and tile chips, the blade was rusty, and it was missing parts. Back to the store for a new one. Flooring ordered and arrived - using a high end sheet vinyl...

Second toilet arrived, - also broken. Third one to arrive next week (sigh) Unable to find drywall shims locally, so I have to order those to straighten out those wavy walls. A week to wait on those as well. FedEx has decided that they might deliver my flooring sample today, though, so at least...

Update: The nasty pink plastic wall tiles are gone! The walls are down to studs around the bathtub; toilet, vanity, medicine cabinet - all gone. The new toilet arrived - smashed into a thousand pieces, so we are waiting on a replacement for that. The new vanity top was badly scratched and had...

Well, we recently got a new roof put on, and that was an expensive but wonderful relief - no waking up to the sound of drips during a storm anymore!!

Yes, the GFCI was changed out as well - when all this started.

Just a quick update - the bath fan itself was fine - turns out the "brand new" wall switch was faulty. Swapped it out and everything works fine now. It was the last thing I expected, lol.

Yes, I bought a cheap vanity. I was perfectly willing to spend more, but this was the only thing that fit our configuration. It has 2 scratches in the cultured top. Has anyone ever successfully repaired/removed/camouflaged scratches in one of these? I have read the "theories" - 1000-2000 grit...

OK, never mind. Hubby and I have decided to just go the traditional tile route.

Thanks for your reply. The product comes with instructions to attach any other shelves or install soap holders etc, so that is a non-issue. I looked at those three piece acrylic/fiberglass sets , with built in shelves. They look good online, but in person, they all look excessively cheap and...

I appreciate all the comments, but I cannot give further wiring details at the moment,. We have some storm damage from the system that came through on Thursday night, and I have my hands full taking care of that. But yes, the fan runs fine, it trips everything when shutting it off. The switch...

The unit is brand new....I bought 2, and the other works fine. Is it common to get a lemon in high end bath fans?
