    If I had to do it again I would buy a little better one honestly. I love that little guy but admittedly it could be better with thicker caulks.

    It will run 90% of what I use it for but occasionally I find a product it doesn’t like but with that said it’s a real life saver and time saver....

    Getting the cement board laid out and cut so it’s a easier task to get it mortared. All the prep ahead of time basically.

    Some drywall work left to do but not much it’s pretty close to ready. I ain’t no pro that’s for sure:rofl: :lol: it’s mostly smoothed out now though.

    Yes we found a screaming deal on tile. We cleaned out Home Depot’s clearance isle. At 2 stores when they discontinued this particular tile. They are 1/4” thick made in USA and a beautiful wood grain color!

    I put something similar in our bathroom last winter, looks good! Ours has a bit more of a grey weathered tone to it...and I paid more than that, you got a great deal!

    I don’t remember the cost but it has another side effect it noticeably reduces the noise!
