- Shower caulked
I got the shower caulked. The caulk turned out to be almost a perfect match for the corner pieces that we chose. Yay!
I also made the tub surround. This entailed 1/4″ Hardiboard, and some framing. The manufacturer suggests two service access points, so I figured, I’d make a couple of 2×4 boxes, attach the Hardiboard to them, and then slide that in to the tub surround framing. That seems to have worked.
The big surprise of the weekend was moving the outlet. It occurred to me that it was pretty close to where I’d be putting in tile, and that it was directly over the tub. Not a good idea to have an outlet over the tub, eh? (In fact, it’s against the nation electric code…) Anyhow: The romex all came out of the attic, but I found out that we have exactly 12″ of 2×4′s at the top of each wall. That made it a much bigger project, but I got it all sorted in the long run, and we have the proper GFCI outlet as well.
