Help finishing tiles
My contractor finished tiling and grouting in my bathroom, but he got thrown in jail. I don't want to pay someone else to finish the job. I have a couple things just to finish it off..
How do you put corner pieces on the walls where the tile meets? Do I just get plastic or wooden corner pieces and caulk it?
Do I caulk the whole outside of where the tile is (the bathroom isn't tiled all the way up, just about halfway then there's drywall)?
I'm not sure what kind of sealer to get? I see people who seal just the grout with a paintbrush, then I see people seal both tile and grout?
Bathroom accessories. Do they just drill holes, put plastar of paris, put in the towel rod, and hold it with tape?
Thanks.

You can run caulking across the top of the tile or for a more finished look, trim the edge with moulding and hope the tiles are set level.
Depends on the type of tile. I seal it all just because I think it's easier.
No different than if you were hanging them on drywall but you'll need a masonry drill bit. Stick some masking tape on the tile and mark your holes on the tape. This helps from keeping the drill from jumping around when you start the hole.
