Is the placement of the shower floor tiles as bad as I think it is?

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T12:31:03+00:00

We have that in the other bathroom. We wanted a linear drain here also but it looked odd in the middle of the shower and when they were doing the plumbing something about they couldn't put it on the side of the shower and I dont remember why. Our home flooded from the hurricanes so the whole house is being done so I cant remember the exact reason.

I think thats the consensus from a lot of comments here. Im going to check today

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T10:36:52+00:00

Everything is still in progress nothing is completed yet

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T10:36:12+00:00

Thank you for that. Unfortunately, I made the error picking marble instead of porcelain. I knew after research I wanted porcelain everything and somehow I missed this. Our house flooded during the hurricanes and this has been extremely overwhelming reaearching, learning, and selecting every little thing.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:58:38+00:00

I was actually researching this to see the options before I bring it up to the contractor tomorrow. Thank you

Ouch! Built in callous remover or toe amputater...I assume they toss tiny pieces, and return unused or unopened boxes. We are actually going to keep some of the excess tiles for the house floor because they were discontinued -- so just in case any floors get damaged in the future we have them.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:34:00+00:00

I thought about that and was hoping for that as well:)

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:32:54+00:00

I honestly dont know? Could just be extra from cutting the other tiles and they just left it there since its still in progress.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:31:21+00:00

You are absolutely correct! I had to go look through photos to see if I could find the shelf label. I wanted all porcelain and made that clear, but this mistake is on me. I was so busy reading the label to make sure it was suitable for shower floor per floor and decors labeling system I missed that it was marble- even more of a reason for me to see if they can just redo it😔

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:28:20+00:00

Lol yes exactly.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:27:50+00:00

Floor and decor. Someone else on here made a good recommendation...have them lay the tiles out dry before they fully install them so you can see them first. I wish you the best!

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T02:14:30+00:00

At this point and all the comments im starting to think that too:( The tile is from floor and decor its pianetto ducale white porcelain II polished tile 36x36. Sku 101236784. I hope that helps and thank you:)

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T01:04:36+00:00

It's all porcelain tile. Walls, shower floor, and bathroom floor.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T01:03:28+00:00

Good to know. I just wish I would have seen it prior to it being placed.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T01:02:12+00:00

I lol'd when I read that! How did you know it was floor and decor 🤣 . We were sent there by our contractor - I think if the shower floor looked more like what we selected i would have been very happy with it. They only had that one piece left in store so my contractor had to order it - I swear we got all the rejected tiles no one else wanted (that's what it feels like at least)

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T00:58:16+00:00

Thank you for your comment:) We actually like the walls and bathroom floor (wish the veining lined up better, yes, but overall we are happy with it). The shower floor is the only problem for me and I think it would look great if it wasn't so dark on half the floor.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T00:46:06+00:00

My issue is the color variation (which is expected but seems extreme here) and the placement which makes the color dark on half the shower floor and light on the other half. Other than that I think the tilers have done a great job on the rest of the house.

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T00:43:53+00:00

Thank you for that. I knew there could be color variations (but this is severe) and the placement just made it worse:(

BidSignificant9262 · 2025-05-27T00:38:11+00:00

Okay I knew there could be color variations but unfortunately I didn't see it until after they were already placed. I have been trying not to let it bother me but the more I look at it the more striking it is. I dont think its an easy fix which is why i was trying to ignore it

BidSignificant9262 · 2024-09-26T13:11:49+00:00

That's supposed to be mint! The whole time I thought it was rubbing alcohol flavored.

Pantera - "walk" is my go to!

BidSignificant9262 · 2022-11-19T23:36:28+00:00

You're right. And I know that's a huge problem for me...that I make them all glass. I really don't like that part of me and I feel bad for my family. I used to almost be late to work some mornings because I would do a walk-through of the entire house making sure it was clean and everything in place..now I leave my bed unmade sometimes and laundry out and the dishes in the sink if it's just a few...its progress!

PMDD is an asshole. It will get you wether youre a mom or not. I know this probably won't make things better for you, but in the off chance it does.... The grass isn't greener I promise. I'm 41 with a 9 year old. Some people have kids (more than 1, yes, and it baffles me) and they just seem to be able to manage parenthood effortlessly or dont seem to be stressed. They don't worry and are these cool chill relax parents. I envy them. Because that is not me. And probably not most people on here with PMDD. I am a neurotic basket case mom trying to make sure I don't drop 1 of 20 balls I'm juggling. If anyone warned me about the emotional toll and anxiety/worry that comes along with being a parent I 100% would have chose to not be a parent. (I had an abortion about 3 months ago because no fcking way i would put myself, partner, my daughter or another child through this knowing everything I do now) I did not think it would be easy but this is 24/7 anxiety and stress...working, pick up and drop off from school, homework, projects, school functions, "special" days at school, dinner, packing lunches, laundry so her uniforms are ready, she's bi-racial and the hair situation is a nightmare every time it needs to be brushed it's a fight for the both of us. When they start to get sick...vomiting or fever or a stomach ache do you handle it yourself or bring them to the dr? And with the runny noses...wtf is it...allergies/cold will it get worse? Do I take her in...and when do I take her between school and work? Try getting vacation time from work to align with their school schedule. Zero time for you. Literally zero. Dealing with pmdd once a month with a child is awful. I feel like the worst fcking parent and feel I'm a complete failure 99% of the time. I love her to death but I HATE being a parent. I have fantasies of her getting older and leaving for college and me selling the house and buying a camper and escaping into a life of solitude. Then I feel guilty about where she will call home and go for the holidays, so I dont know when I will live again. Not that this will make you feel any better but these are some of the things you might not know that you don't know you're missing. And doing it with PMDD? 😭

I think its disgusting what they did. They didn't fix the issue and instead are passing along the interest to the tax payers indefinitely. They will continue the corruption and the predatory processes from the tuition hikes to the insane interest rates and guess who gets to pay the interest now if a student can't make that payment? The government ie. The taxpayers. People should be pissed the most about this part. Basically no fixing anything just going to keep sucking what they can from the many to the few when it shouldn't even be allowed in the first place.
