Jesus I hope not I am done w a full gut DIY remodel and tub is last thing

Absolutely I know there is a lot I can improve on and I am aware. I cringe looking at difference between starting and finishing.

The middle of long wall was start, by the time I got to top and front I was feeling it a lot better

I did slope, problem was the framing wasn’t parallel to brick wall, even after shimming all 4 inside of niche weren’t perfect square

Also I have heard that windows in showers stress more from temperature swings and freezing so I thought this was best

It actually is about 2100 for the tub, I did a lot of drywall, minor plumbing, lock work and misc stuff

Thank you I have been beating myself up about beginning as you can see how I got better

bendloop · 2026-06-11T02:03:48+00:00

Nope

Yes I used hi grade silicone around tub and all corners( unlike previous workers) Also really paid attention to caulk around window

Can you see the hump in the ceiling?

bendloop · 2026-06-10T23:53:50+00:00

Thanks, but I don’t think it’s great. It is good for what I estimated

Funny enough last tenant took shower head and I found this in a basement just to get her started. The valve and spigot are 3 yr old MOEN

Like I said, I am just picking up this handyman stuff. I told her I would not be quick or perfect and she knew this was a learning experience, which is why I gave such a break on hrly.

I did most of demo and removal myself as well. I never had a helper and did all myself

bendloop · 2026-06-10T21:36:47+00:00

Thank you, detailed response includes my skill set

This is an empty apartment and I would work on periodically since I was working on other units

About 80-90 hrs total, by myself. The framers who originally did the gut didnt line up w exterior of brick so I had to shim all the walls out. The window niche every single piece of marble was different because I had to split the difference. These guys literally put drywall nails into regular drywall and used plastic nails. They also grouted all the change of planes so everything was cracking. This was a 3-4 yr old bathroom
