Amazing work... your videos have given me a lot of inspiration on the tile pattern that I'm planning for my remodel. Thank you!

Question: is it important to slope the ceiling just a bit? I've heard this is important to avoid cold water 'rain' from condensation on the ceiling. Sloping it toward the front or back wall to avoid the rain. Do you agree? Slope toward front or back? How much slope?

Thanks!!!

@rhideSpecialized Thanks, The reason for the slop as you have said is to avoid cold water dripping. The TCNA hand book states that the required slop should be no less that 2" per foot. Do you really need to have a slop? that's your call. I have done them both with and without, it all depends on what you want, if a cold drip of water does not bother you then do it with out, otherwise you can put a slop in to whatever degree you like. Will it affect the integrity of the shower? I doubt.it

The bathroom looks really nice!.....I am going to start tiling my bathroom....one of my biggest questions was .....how to get the tile to stay in place on the ceiling above the tub?....I was going to use marble...as in the rest of the bathroom....but looking at the ceiling and knowing how heavy the marble 12 by 12's are.....I have decided to use mosaic sheets.....which are lighter in weight....or...if I used the marble 12 by 12's would it stay in place  without falling??...does tile wt. matter?

@LADYAQUARIAN42 You will actually find it harder to get the mosaics to stay up than the lager tiles. Just use a good quality thinset, make sure you get good coverage and mix it so that it is just a little stiffer than normal, and the 12" marble tiles should stay up without issue, I have done this more times than I can count and it has been a rare occasion that a tile has come down.
