thanks all

I left a gap 'twixt the first tile and the tub (grout filled).

You've GOT to lift the toilet and tile underneath it otherwise the result
WILL look like crap. So doing will also facilitate changing toilets when
your old age mandates the taller kind.

Hint:

Assuming you're using 12" tiles. Cut a bunch in half with a tile cutter or
angle grinder and use them as the baseboard.

I glued mine to the wall with liquid nails then went back and stuffed grout
in the gaps to match the floor.

Looks great!


nice idea!
