[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 131905, member: 2979"] I have done quite a few. My choice would be a good fiberglass base, unless you like being on your hands and knees cleaning soap scum out of grout. Use the right grout, unsanded for up to 1/8 " grout lines and sanded for the rest. I use a latex additive instead of water for mixing grout. makes it about as water proof as you can get. You are not going to be perfect because most tile are plus on minus 1/16 and after a few rows it adds up. I mainly use home depot for my tile needs because you can take back what you don't use. Most high end tile places what you order is what you pay for and no returns. Start in middle of long back wall and work out, end walls start on the outside and work in using a bullnose tile for your first tile. I usually lay the first row of tile the day before, so you have a good solid base to work off from. I also use the premixed cement for the tile because that way I can stop and start when ever I want, and for first timers that's a good thing. Rent a good tile saw. It will make things so much better. Check out some of the internet vidios, some are pretty good. If you get into trouble pm me and I will see if I can talk you through it. [/QUOTE]
