    I would cut an opaque shower curtain to size and hang it to cover windows while you shower to block peepers and deflect water away from window ledges.

    about the part on the showerpan that hasnt got a lip , it might be better to fill the opening under the board with silicone , then tile over it and silicone a bead along the tiles too , i think that gives the best protection against leaking through

    I just finished following these steps and I'm ready to tile our skoolie shower as well. Any idea on when you guys are gonna tile yours? I might wait to see how you guys do it, since you are a pretty reliable source! ps: we've got our AC unit out, our full plumbing & electrical system working and our ceiling done all because of you guys' videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to document your journey and making the instructions so clear and easy to follow.

    Why do they call this stuff "Red Guard" when it looks pink!? Does it really turn red at some point? Maybe they need to call it "Pink Guard" 😂You two did AMAZING putting the waterproofing together! We like how you have an "emergency exit" bottom opening window in the shower! That'll be nice to let in a breeze during a hot day while cooling off in the shower. It looks SOOOooOOO spacious! We're truly impressed how you put this together with the thoughtful placement of the shower head up in the top edge so that there's plenty of head room to have a nice shower rain down from above! We imagine that you'll probably have one of those wands on a hose also, so that you can wash Joey easily. We're looking at different wands available that won't fall with the movement of the bus, so we're curious to see which one you guys go with. It's soooo cool seeing your build come together! You're going to have the perfect tiny home on wheels before ya know it! Keep it up! The struggle is real but the payoff is going to be AMAZING by NOT having a mortgage (or rent) when you're done! Just fuel & maintenance costs (which can be minimized by staying in a spot longer.) We love following you two and supporting your build! - Brian + Erin
