Questions on this stage 5
- You · 3 hours agoThe niche looks bigger than I pictured! Will it still fit the tall shampoo bottles?
- Sam · 2 hours agoYes, it is 14 inches tall inside, same as the drawing. The tile will take about half an inch off that.
- You · 2 hours agoPerfect. Is it too late to make the shower floor heated?
- Sam · 1 hour agoNot too late for the main floor, since tile has not started. I’ll send you a quick quote for the heat mat today. It adds a day.
- You · 35 min agoAmazing, thank you!
