Today, headed to the tile store to get my new backslash tile.
I already started the destruction of the old backsplash so there is no going back.
AHH. the joys of home improvements.
Almost as much fun as working on Toughie.
Good luck with the tile work, And like you said once started there is no stopping from there lol
I have started removing the crappy Pop Corn ceiling paint, man I hate that crap :O Next will be counters and back splash, But those are on the back burner as I just order 10 new windows :O NO turning back lol
It might be code now, but when our house was built, it wasn’t, so it will be good to go. I’m putting a waterproof system in to stop the water from getting to the wall board.
Today, back to work! More drywall.
Steve , I agree do it right and then it is the last time to do it :)
My Bathroom is on my to do list and I am sure the Trunk Monkey Crew who did took many short cuts !
With all I am planning my kids will get a nicer place to sell when I croak lol
When I remodeled our bathroom about 7-8 years ago, this is what I used over all drywall (and hardibacker board) to waterproof it. It also acts as a decoupling membrane to keep cracks from affecting ceramic tile.:
Today , I worked alone, I got the shower stall finished, the wall behind the toilet and around the window done, some bulkhead work done over the door, I got the GFI receptacle wired , and figured out , I need 4 more 8 foot sheets of drywall.
thanks for the tip on the water proofing, my 22 year old shower and tub upstairs haven’t had a problem, neither has my MIL’s 59 year old tub and shower, dry as a bone. Just saying. The shower stall Behind the toilet wall

My drywall guy came through, he met me at the lumber yard with his truck and I got 10 sheets of drywall and 10 2x4’s and joint compound, that will get me through this job and some towards the rest of the recreation room.
This morning, I got my notice for my vaccination shot appointment, booked it for a week Tuesday!
Sweetie, dropped me off at the lumberyard, and then she stopped for fuel, and drove the BlackSwan home! She then did something she’s never done before! She drove the Terrain out of our garage!! I knew she could do it, she’s been terrified, she would misjudge and scrape the garage door frame!
Hole eeee! That’s going to require some attention! That’s looking great, Lonwane! Good idea to move the fridge.
Our back splash was just drywall , so I bought these plastic replica “tin” ceiling tiles and used RTV clear silicone to adhere them to the wall, they are 2’x4’ sheets so lotsa room to match up the pattern. They’ve been up there for about 15 years now!
