Am putting up a shower curtain rail. What type and size(?) of drill/

Unless your surround is tiled all the way to the ceiling, put the shower
rod above the tile. Tall users will appreciate it, and shower curtain
will stay clean longer, since the bottom dries quicker. Also put the rod
as far from the back wall as you can- it makes the usable space in the
shower bigger, since the curtain isn't flapping around and sticking to
your body. Narrow showers suck.

I had never had one of those curved "motel" rods as they call them.
Recently put one in. Really nice in that it gives you a hell of a lot more
elbow room and eliminates the flapping around and sticking to your body.
About $35 and worth it.
