Thanks everyone! Laila, we didn’t use a barrier–we only put level quick down and then we put the tile directly over that. Casey says concrete is a natural barrier that doesn’t need backer board like a wood floor would. But we’re amateurs so you might want to check with someone else. Good luck!

Wow! This gives me hope. We have a rough-in of plumbing in our basement, but I would walk into that section and just shudder. I didn’t have the imagination to see it any differently… but now I can picture something else.

We’re thinking of doing a similar update – and it looks like you had the concrete floor challenge to deal with as well. Did you put down any special mats or barriers before laying the tile? Looks great – what an inspiration!

Very impressive remodeling job. We were thinking of installing a bedet in our master bath and could use this type of handywork!

Continually impressed with your do-it-yourself handywork (spelling?) It certainly makes me yearn to do a few home projects myself. Anyway, what an improvement!

The bathroom looks great! I’ll have to take it for a test-run sometime soon.

Wow! What a transition! It’s hard to believe that is the same space that’s in the 1st picture.
