Believe me when I say…a shower and/or bath project does not fall into my comfort zone. (Unless, that is, it involves bubbles and wine.) Laying tile after the fact? That I can do. As for all the hoopla involved in prepping the mortar bed? Not so much. I’m fairly confident though, that even I could manage the Schluter-KERDI watertight shower kit.

Having options is a good thing. For instance, I like that on a Sunday morning, I can choose to lay around like a slob or I can choose to be productive. Guess which one wins out most of the time?
