Daft ?? about tiles in the bog
I just started renovating the bog and find that the BATH/SHOWER tiles
are hung on what appears to be vinyl wallpaper. They all seem to be reasonably secure and the grout is still good. I am , of course, going to change them to a more modern design and I like the idea of no wall damage when I remove the old ones. Now the question---Is hanging bath/shower tiles on wallpaper a good idea or is this just a "fluke" from the past that has somehow survived for 15 or so years. Any comments gratefully recieved. Cheers--Jim |

I can go for that--I do prefer that my toes aren't chopped off by a
falling tile--Do have to wonder how it's lasted so long though. Thanks for the tip. |
