Linear Drain vs Center Drain for Curbless Shower ?

I’m remodeling my master bathroom and planning a curbless shower. I’m trying to decide between a linear drain and a regular center drain.

For those who have lived with either one for a few years, which would you choose if you were doing it again? Any regrets regarding cleaning, clogs, drainage, maintenance, or installation?

I’d especially love to hear from homeowners and tile installers with long-term experience. Thanks!

Reddit bullied me into reconsidering my tile choice 😂 Help me pick a timeless design for 3 upstairs bathrooms.

Alright Reddit… you won. 😅

My last post about the Monaco marble-look tile got roasted pretty hard, so instead of trying to defend it, I went back and mocked up a few different directions.

The first image is my original plan (please be gentle 😂). The next three images are alternatives based on a lot of the feedback I received.

Some context:

5-bedroom forever home
3 secondary bathrooms upstairs (all about this size/layout)
2 bathrooms downstairs that will be different
Looking for something that will still look good in 15–20 years, not just what’s trendy today
All fixtures will be brushed nickel
Existing white shaker vanity stays
Frameless sliding tub door
Large-format porcelain tile

The three options are pretty similar:
Option A: Warm limestone look
Option B: Warm concrete look
Option C: Warm travertine look

A few questions:
Which option would you choose and why?
Which one has the best chance of looking timeless in 2040?
Would you run the same tile on both the shower walls and bathroom floor?
For the floor, would you use 12×24 or 24×48 porcelain? (I’ve seen strong opinions both ways.)
I’m genuinely looking for advice this time, so don’t hold back, but maybe just a little less than last time. 😅
Thanks!

👋 Trying to Build a Timeless Bathroom, What Am I Missing?

Looking for some design feedback before I start remodeling.
This is one of my three upstairs guest bathrooms. My plan is to make all three guest bathrooms identical for a clean, consistent look throughout the upstairs.

Current plan:

1) 24” × 48” Monaco porcelain tile (Calacatta Gold look) on the tub/shower walls to the ceiling.
2) 12” × 24” matte white porcelain floor tile.
3) Frameless brushed gold sliding tub door.
4) Brushed gold shower system, faucet, and accessories.
5) Existing vanity painted white (keeping the same shaker door style).
6) Existing Calacatta Gold quartz countertop.
7) Large rounded-corner mirror with the light mounted above the mirror.
8) Tankless/smart toilet.
9) One recessed shower niche.

My goal is a timeless, clean, modern luxury
look, something that will still look great 10–15 years from now without feeling trendy.
What would you change? Is there anything you’d do differently before I start? I’d especially appreciate feedback from designers, contractors, or homeowners who’ve done a similar remodel.

[PAID] Need someone in Chamblee, GA to inspect a used car for me — DM for details

Hey Atlanta! I’m considering buying a used 2024 Lexus from a dealer in Chamblee but I’m based in Texas. Before I make the trip down there I want someone local to check it out first.
Looking for someone to visit the dealer, do a quick visual inspection inside and out, and take it for a short test drive on the highway. Prefer someone who knows cars or has a mechanical background but not required.
Should take about 45-60 minutes. I’ll send you a simple checklist once we connect. Payment same day via Venmo or Zelle.
DM me if interested — need this done within the next few days. Thanks!

Buying a Car Remotely – How Do You Properly Inspect It?

Hi all, Need some advice from people who’ve bought cars remotely.

I found a 2024 Lexus TX500h that matches the color/spec I want, but it’s far away. Since these are hard to find used exactly how I want, I may have to buy remotely.

I’ve never bought a car without seeing it in person, so how do you make sure everything is actually good? Are there services that can thoroughly inspect/test drive the vehicle for things like unusual noises, vibrations at highway speeds, smells, cosmetic issues, rattles, etc. and give honest feedback like a normal buyer would notice during a test drive?

Any advice appreciated.
