This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage.

Our bathrooms are about the size of yours, maybe a bit less than the 9'10". Here are pictures of the downstairs bath, which we designed and had remodelled a few years ago (scroll down from the kitchen pictures to see the bath). For storage, we bought the David Marsh cabinet that you see. It provides adequate storage. Practically speaking, there's no counter in this bathroom, so it's not really full service, even through one daughter uses it and has no complaints. I redid our upstairs bath, which has the same size and layout expect for a shower rather than a tub, so there's more wall space opposite the sink (large wall mirror there). For that one, we went with more conventional cabinets, but have a similar configuration for storage; tall linen cabinet in the corner with small drawer cabinet to the right, with small counter top. Sorry, no pictures of that one. Of course your decision about whether or not to knock out the wall is an economic one, can't help with that!

I'm not sure what brand Stonington Gray is - typically when I pick a paint color I collect hundreds of chips of all different brands and then choose the one I like, and have it custom-color mixed into a Behr can by Home Depot (unless it's a Behr color). Very often they have the color in their computer, even if it's not their brand. But Stonington Gray isn't exactly a common name, so it very well could be the one you are referring to. It's not too dark, not too light - just right. I also have it in my scrapbooking room (I don't have a picture of the bedroom). (I'm trying to upload it onto Tinypic but it's not working right now) You're right my SIL probably would not be in my bathroom, maybe, but I know she'd be quirked about it. Several years ago we put new doorknobs throughout the house - satin-nickel football-shaped ones. 2 years ago when they were building their house they did not put those doorknobs in (which is what the builder offered) simply because we had them. I didn't care, but she did. (Did I mention they live 3000 miles away?) never ending - *I* never have stopped, but as you know he did... after I ruined the tables (first I tried stain, then paint...I just suck at it), he (HE!) suggested we go buy new ones. So we did. Then he wouldn't commit to painting the cabinets, so I went and hired a refacing company. I ordered a new mirror frame, and he did agree to paint. He says. We shall see. If I hired out I'd have to take a day off work, and I can't exactly do that. I'm going to have to take 2 days off for the cabinets as it is. But something strange happened the other night. He hung a ceiling fan for me. He did complain (to be expected - says that he JUST put that fan in there - 9 years ago), but I said nothing, and he turned and got his tools. My son was even surprised...

Understood. But also consider a shower that is waterproofed incorrectly can also cause damage and mold in an adjoining unit. You wanted a list for how to proceed? The first item on that list should be "Understand that you don't know what you don't know." This isn't just advice for someone planning a DIY remodel. It's a rule that even experienced pros recognize. Testing out the limits of your knowledge in a way that can negatively affect or harm someone who lives in an adjoining unit may not be the wisest course.
