I think I might have finally persuaded my husband around to my way of thinking, but he's come up with a question that I don't think you've covered, and wonder if you can help me with please? The question is: How did you manage to seal the area around where you made the hole for the on/off/temperature control dial? He's naturally concerned about water getting through to the walls behind, and if I can convince him that there's a way to stop this, then I think he might run with it. PLEASE please help, :-)<br /><br />Judi in the UKPablobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452093607879377801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807415901273287967.post-80080351021805372132015-02-17T12:56:15.493-06:002015-02-17T12:56:15.493-06:00Elizabeth, we used pvc trim which we caulked to th...Elizabeth, we used pvc trim which we caulked to the tube and on top of the pvc trim we used z channel and the tin is over that.

You can also make the corrugated metal go up as high as you want or need if splashing is something you worry about. We've been using the metal surround for a couple of months now and haven't had any troubles of any sort with it. It's also easy to keep clean but I would suggest you avoid using soaps that cause a lot of residue like Ivory; however, I would recommend that with any type of shower surround.<br />Living in a house that's extremely unfinished and plugging along slowly doesn't seem to bother me. This house and its particular style is something I want so badly that it's worth it to me. That, and having five kids has probably helped train me to tune out messes, noises (and smells!) really well. Ha!<br />Good luck to you as you make your cabin a home!<br />☺ CelesteCottage Dreamershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171308744495129422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807415901273287967.post-60912187940568843102010-03-24T06:14:27.437-06:002010-03-24T06:14:27.437-06:00I found your lovely blog via a google search for &...I found your lovely blog via a google search for "corrugated metal tub surround" after being inspired by the very same Country Living bathroom makeover that inspired you, via a recent post on Remodelista. I wondered if you have any tips or special advice about how to approach this project? I'm particularly interested in how you cut the hole for the water on/off handle thingy. Also, did you do anything at the top of the metal sheets (near the ceiling) to prevent moisture from seeping between the metal and the actual wall? I'm kind of a splashy shower-er. :-) Any other installation tips or pitfalls you're willing to share would be much appreciated!<br /><br />I love how you seem to live so normally (and beautifully) amid what appears to be pretty constant construction/remodeling. My fiancé and I live in a small log cabin built in the 1940s as a little hunting & fishing camp. It needs a lot of work, and I have a tendency to want to do one room all at once, from construction sort of stuff to decorating finishing touches. After looking through your blog I feel inspired to embrace the idea of a work in progress and appreciate small changes as we make them.Meganhttp://whenharrymetsalad.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807415901273287967.post-79802822012075716012010-03-23T21:25:57.452-06:002010-03-23T21:25:57.452-06:00I've missed your blog posts!
