The biggest thing I've learned while renovating my house is to assume every trade doesn't know shit all and make them explain to you what they're doing. It doesn't matter if they've been in the business for 10 years, if they've been doing it wrong for 10 years, that doesn't help you.

The thing with layouts is that sometimes you are forced to do things a certain way - there may be limitations you might not know about until you're well underway.
For example, here's my master bath (toilet is behind the door):
According to the architectural drawings, the shower was supposed to be behind the door, inline with the soaker tub.
But when the house was framed, that exterior wall is connected to a gable roof, so the window you see here is centered under the gable:
As a result, my general contractor (MIL's brother, who has been building houses for 20+ years) said that we can't fit the shower in its original spot because of the window. He refused to move the window over because it would not be centered under the gable and it would look really silly from the outside, and I agree. Therefore we ended up with the current layout. The towel rack near the tub is useful when you are getting out, but you have to go back in the tub to replace the towel. It's annoying, but there's nowhere else to put it...
Hey Hondaracer, how is the tile work?
