His wife's paycheck goes to cover their medical insurance and burden.I tentatively agreed to "hire" him to do this project--demo the existing old tile & backer board down to the studs, (bathtub is OK), create a new surround with ceramic tile & a glass band going around the 3 sides.

Ceramic tile is great- it’s sanitary, durable and very easy to clean but takes skill to install and is generally more Labor intensive or takes more time.

If you plan on renting it out I'd recommend looking into clear gloss polyurethane to put on the hardwood floors or any ceramic tiles in the bathroom or kitchen.
