While on a remodeling job recently, I struck up a conversation with the tile contractor, who was busily tiling the shower walls. Well, he was busily tiling until I showed up and started asking questions.
We talked about thinset mortar, tile sizes and patterns, and the advantages of using cement backerboard, as opposed to moisture-resistant drywall, as a substrate.
Then we discussed a seemingly mundane subject: where to mount the soap dish.
As it turns out, soap-dish placement is quite a hot-button topic for many homeowners.
