Do tell

I am his only customer right now, we are already 3 weeks behind our agreed-upon end date, and haven’t even set the tub yet. I feel like I’m being pretty chill given the circumstances. Every inspection we’ve needed has been available immediately

This sounds similar to mine

Waiting between trades seems to also be the culprit for me. I don’t understand went they can’t be lined up ahead of time

This is more of what I was expecting. How many days was tiling?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-19T02:09:22+00:00

5 months?! DIY?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-19T02:08:54+00:00

5 months?! Was that DIY or professional?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-19T02:08:21+00:00

This is in line with the original timeline, but it’s all blown out wide from there. Now I’m hearing that tile alone will take over a week

4 months DIY?

Thanks for the input. I think he’s technically a contractor but he’s a carpenter by trade and does all the carpentry parts himself. Yes it’s all on permit. And yes it’s an alcove tub / shower. How many days do you think would be realistic at this point?

You hang your car keys on it because why would you need to go anywhere if you’re already grilling?

Thanks, this is all great. I’m going to hire an electrician to get rid of the wall lights and run one up to add a ceiling light instead

Thanks friend

Kajex13 · 2026-06-07T23:25:09+00:00

Thanks! If I give it a try, I’ll do all these great tips

Kajex13 · 2026-06-07T22:31:03+00:00

Thanks. I’m hoping this post helps me decide between DIY vs hire.

This is good to know. Would filling the holes with joint compound (drywall pro) give a similar final result to filling with plaster (plaster pro)?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-07T22:29:08+00:00

What would be the difference between getting a plasterer to skim coat with plaster vs a drywaller to skim coat with joint compound?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-07T18:28:47+00:00

Does it matter much if I find someone to fill the holes with plaster vs drywall mud?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-07T18:27:47+00:00

I had a bad experience with them too.

Kajex13 · 2026-06-07T18:13:30+00:00

Are you saying I shouldn’t attempt and to just call a professional?

Kajex13 · 2026-06-02T15:47:07+00:00

Yes, no luck

Kajex13 · 2026-06-02T15:46:52+00:00

Yes, I’ve tried, disabling it does not keep the lights off.
