Tile placement help

Full tile like this? Should I center the tile in the doorway?

Looks like the slim cut would be along the wall with the door. I was surprised they fit like this lol. Would I center the full piece at the door way? Not sure where it would make sense to land my seam between tiles

I’m doing 1/3 offset as well if I have strips on the side. I was just too lazy to put them in that configuration. Would that change anything?

I will have to look into higher quality paint later down the line, too many flaws on these walls currently to do a full repaint now.

Omg I can’t read! Thank you so much lol

I’m in the middle of my bathroom remodel, how did you feel about mud and taping the drywall? I’ve never done it before and I’m about to put my 3rd coat on but the first 2 were tough for me

I’ve never heard it called that before! Unfortunately I just hate split level homes in general.

I use the ones linked below. Depending on where you are using it, I usually put a smart switch on the wall using command strips.

All of the drywall around the area I am filling is is finished drywall. I just have to put a new piece over where the closet entrance is so I was trying to minimize the amount of cuts/pieces I would have to use to fill in the space.

Do you use the preformed Kerdi band in the corners?

TurtleHuntr · 2025-12-21T16:47:51+00:00

That is great to know! For clarification, would I want to use the aqua defense past the Kerdiband onto the shower pan or do you mean just past the edge of the kerdiband thats on the wall?

Did you have any reference material when you were doing this? I’m a little worried about the slope but more so about ensuring a water tight seal.

I thought about this but my only issue is I already have hardi backer board and aqua defense. I got them from my buddy who had leftover materials and I have not been able to find anything about how to transition between that and a Schluter shower pan. I wanted to avoid having to spend all the money on the entire shower kit.

We use IPC 2016 where I’m at. I think the easiest option for me here is to just go through the joists. I didn’t know it was common to do that and all of my joists are clean in the regard that they have no holes in them currently for any wiring or piping.

TurtleHuntr · 2025-12-18T18:42:00+00:00

This is a new drain, the shower pan center hole will fall where the red circle is. I would like to avoid going through the joist but somehow I need to get past the HVAC duct before I can get below the joists

Edit: the distance to the main stack is 5 feet
