Bathroom Shower Window

Bathroom Shower Window

Golly gosh, it would be great if I could include photos in these posts for the visual. I will do my best to verbally describe what's going on.

In a nutshell - the house has not had any improvements since around 1981. The bathroom was about a quarter finished, but usable.

Fast forward 40ish years. With no maintenance to the bathroom, it was in a state of disrepair.

There had been plans to put in a shower surround 40 years ago, that never transpired. What we used was plastic sheeting, thumbtacked up to the drywall.

I gutted the entire tub area, leaving the tub in place. There is a window on the outer wall right in the middle of where the shower surround is. The request was to not remove the window, much to my disappointment.

I have done my very best to make the window area water resistant. There will be a translucent shower curtain that will hang in front of the window, on a curtain rod for additional protection.

This is an awful lot of wordage to get to the final point - I've been using a lot of cove and quarter round molding. Mostly it's been fine, using stainless steel nails to tack into place. But with a couple of spots, since the house is very old and nothing is square, if anything is even remotely bowed, and it doesn't take much, the molding presses against the nails and the molding is starting to pop off.

Can I just use some small stainless steel screws to hold it in place? Or are there better ideas?
