I'm currently in week three of retiling my ceramic shower stall; Valve seats replaced; Hardware dressing replaced; after 25 years from the initial DIY installation. Yes. And the night before Ann's St. Pat's party while I'm trying to finish the bathroom tiling the kitchen drains go from slow to "no go." I'm definitely feeling "too old" in the joints for crawling around under sinks and within 34" x 36" shower stalls.
