Tiling your bathtub enclosure? Undoubtedly, you'll need holes for the pipes to go through. I was told that you couldn't drill holes in ceramic tile. Hah! I found this industrial-grade-diamond hole cutting bit at Home Depot for about $40. Spendy, but it does a great job! This video is only the 6th hole I've cut, so I'm no expert; it's just very easy.

I decided to do this video because I just couldn't find a good one for beginners when I needed it!
