Impulsive DIY is never a good idea.

Is the original woodwork sheets of wood supported by beams? Does the plumbing run between the beams of the floor and the ceiling of the level below that? Or does all the plumbing run vertically through the wall? > it looks like the original hardwood floors stop & there is a plywood patch. > we have broken many tile on the base of the walls that rest on the linoleum. > > my wife wants tile & i am a little over whelmed. I can imagine that :) Stop working and take some time to design your new bathroom. What you need to do and in which order depends a lot on what you want to achieve. For instance, with some tubs you lay (some of) the tiles first, then the tub, then the rest of the tiles: http://www.celerityfm.com/images/122103/08%20f33r%20our%20bathtub.jpg (Not the best of examples, you could do all the tiles first and then the tub, but I couldn't find a better image that was SFW.) With some tubs you have no choice but to lay all the tiles first: http://www.gregorymullerassoc.com/images/BATHTUB.jpg Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Captivate from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=52 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159101 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
