Here’s what you’re looking at:

• Six pieces of 5′ x 3′ Durock cement board;
• 3 1/2 gallons of Redgard;
• Our new showerhead/faucet combo;
• A six foot metal ruler that I plan to use as a straightedge (and, dammit, is too wide for the back of the shower, but it’ll still help to trim the Durock)
• Three clean 5-gallon buckets;
• A variety of painting implements and sponges and grouting tools and a notched trowel and an X-Acto knife and a few other things inside the buckets

Off-camera:

• A hundred goddamn pounds, which seems crazily excessive now that I think about it but the guy insisted was the right amount for our square footage, of dry mortar;
• 25 pounds of grout;
• An 8-foot wall stud that I need to cut to a three-foot length to give me something to attach the cement board to in a weird part of the wall;
• 20 feet of J-channel to set the cement board into on the tub;
• Dual-sided sixteenth-inch tape to attach the J-channel to the tub;
• Several hundred screws;
• Several hundred spacers;
• Mesh tape for the cement board;
• Respirator masks, because I hear Redgard is nasty-smelling shit;
• A caulk tube

Shit we forgot to buy:

• A handful of wood screws to attach the aforementioned 2 x 4; we probably have some suitable ones in a drawer in the garage somewhere, though;
• A caulk gun;
• Some regular blue painter’s tape to tape tiles to each other while they’re setting;
• Some other damn thing I can’t remember right now but hopefully either I or the wife will by the early-morning Lowe’s run tomorrow morning.

And we didn’t buy this today but:

• You can see the side of our new vanity, which we had to take out of the box because we used the box for broken drywall and tile when we did the demolition;
• Our new toilet (still in the box)
• And a bunch of other shit that has nothing to do with the bathroom reno but is still piled up in that corner.

We’re out, like, $525 or something.  And I am so gonna completely fuck up putting the walls up tomorrow.  Be prepared for me to burn the house down and blame it on a spider or something.
