So today was the first time I saw the bathroom I’m about to buy in actual overhead light rather than the feeble light of a cellphone, because the power is now on. I thought that, like many other units in the building, the bathroom was tiled in what you might charitably call “peach” but it turns out no. It WAS tiled in Peach, and then they retiled it in Poop, but they clearly didn’t want to mess with removing the hardware so they left the tiles around the fixtures peach.

“Retile the bathroom” just rose a couple of notches up the “running list of things I need to do to this place.”  (I’m planning on either subway tile or something that will make the faucet look centered, I know some of you out there are like IT’S OFF CENTER AND THAT REALLY BUGS ME, I know, me too.) 

(The water pressure is spectacular though, and the tub isn’t as big as the one I have now but it’s still pretty big.) 

Unless you’ve done it before, http://www.johnbridge.com/ is The Place on The Internet to learn shit shit.

I’m a tileing novice, but you get it to look centered by putting a whole tile in the center spot, and then cutting the tiles as necessary on the edges.

There are days when I see something on the internet and I think yes. This is the best internet humanity can make. 

This is gonna be an awesome resource, thank you! 

Also, I learned a lot watching a time-lapse video some dude made of retiling a client’s bathroom. It was especially fun because he looks a bit like Super Mario, but very educational!
