Basement Bathroom Gone Wrong
Comments (3)1) It's your "dream home". 2) If the change in plans was properly conveyed by you to your builder, then that's it. It's on him to get it fixed. It doesn't matter how he works it out with the plumber or with the other trades. It's on him to work that part out with them, at his cost, or split with them. There's no cash out of your pocket. 3) It's your "dream home". 4) Even if it was your fault and it had to be repaired at your expense, see 1) and 3) above. The time to repair and the funds to repair it will be small in the grand scheme of things. Otherwise you'll grimace every time you walk in to the bathroom. And once you stop walking in there because it depresses you so, your kids will depress you by asking "why is my bathroom so screwed up?" Sit down with your builder and work out a time line for him getting it repaired. If he hems, write him a letter or email. Seeing things in writing make it official and starts the legal clock ticking. If you properly conveyed the change to him, then you're in charge. Start running the show. The longer it takes, the harder the concrete gets and the more entrenched the excuses become....See MoreGel Stain Job Gone Wrong - Bathroom Vanity
Comments (15)So I tried the mineral spirits (right) and citristrip (left). I decided to go with citristrip to start all over. My almost final product is down below. It needs to dry. Then, I'll apply a clear satin finishing coat. Thanks everyone!!...See MoreBathroom remodel gone wrong
Comments (7)Anytime you can read through the RedGuard, it’s not applied thick enough. 3 coats is usually required. Most contractors don’t want to take the time to do it properly. Thinset is not meant to be a material to compensate for out of square walls. It shrinks too much, which creates issues. It’s meant as a thin setting application. Not structural. Any one of these issues is a problem. All of them together demand a redo.

Comments (7)I actually like it so much more than most of the ubiquitous fake marble bathrooms that are usually posted here. It has some personality. I think when you start using it and get towels and bath rugs, products on your niche shelf, etc. you might be surprised how much you love it! What is the big black thing above the niche? That's the only thing that I think detracts from your design. When I adjust the page so I only see the floor and niche, it looks way better with that big black hole out of the picture. I can't imagine what it is....See MoreSusanInMaryland
