Just an update: Not exactly BHG or Houzz, but our vacation home is featured in the winter edition of a local home improvement/design magazine, Home & Cabin. The print edition is on local newsstands now, but in time the article and pictures will be posted on their website. I'll provide a link when it appears. For those interested, the magazine website is linked below. It has some nice articles, DIY tips, etc. as well as an archive of some interesting homes and cabins from past issues. Here is a link that might be useful: Home & Cabin Magazine

We have to tear up a lot of the slab anyway to run the toilet plumbing and move the shower drain. My contractor was thinking build up the shower at the exterior wall and use a trench drain near the shower door but I'm not sure of that looks wise. I agree Sophie. I can't think of another way except how I described above...of course being inexperienced with this type of project I'm not sure if there's a different solution. John would you mind explaing further how that could affect it?

Did you try cleaning it with Nature's Miracle?

Yea it’s so hard to make decisions. Originally we are thinking LVP for the whole house but after lots of reading, I decided do tiles in the bathrooms. Since I have open floor plan, I don’t think I can do kitchen with tiles and rest with other materials. I want real wood but it’s expensive, with LVP hubby thinks he can install to save money
