<p>Thanks Terry - not going to be using the shower as a shower this summber, but will post photos when I'm ready to tackle that situation. </p>

<p>And Rich - wow, how philosophical. I liked the hide and seek but hadn't thought deeper :-)</p>

<p>Nice banner Dawn, your mom is truly talented, I like that you can glance at it and not notice what is in plain sight. Funny,but in a way it is sort of a reminder to stop and look around see what is right in front of us. </p>

<p>Dawn, my pan and shower walls are acrylic. I had no breaks anywhere so no repair needed. I am very happy with the look and durability of the Tremco Rust paint after 3+ years.</p>
<p>As for your 'enclosed gel' situation or anything similar under your shower pan? I would be very tempted to investigate further.</p>

<p>Thanks for the well wishes Lakota and Terry, and also all the great suggestions! The idea about the ladder mount is most excellent. </p>
<p></p>
<p>What was your shower pan made out of? I may replace mine - there is a bit broken off - it's like it's plastic with some sort of weird plastic enclosed gel under it??? Don't laugh but I thought of silicone breast implants! </p>

<p>Congratulations Dawn, and happy 51! Wish I could remember mine.</p>
<p>A few suggestions re your to do list if you don't mind.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Get the ladder installed</p>
<p>When I removed my never used roof rack and sealed the numerous associated holes I also removed the ladder from the roof. I put down a strip of 1/8 aluminum, 4" x 24", properly sealed and riveted to the roof. Ladder was fastened to it and sealed. Easy seals to inspect and great for weight transfer.</p>

<p>Tear out carpeting, replace with vinyl plank flooring and go ahead and change the flange on the toilet while I'm at it.</p>
<p>Glad to hear you are considering vinyl plank over laminate. One plumbing leak or serious spill will make you happy you did.</p>
<p>If you are changing out your toilet flange it will likely come with a seal. Use it - it is your first line of defence.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Add a vent hood to the front vent and or replace the vent. I just dicored the darn thing and gave it a new seal, but the replacement crank won't pull the vent cover down quite enough to seal it and water comes in when it rains. To old to find parts for according to ventline, so should just replace whole assembly.</p>
<p>If you decide to replace the assembly consider a Fantastic Fan. Lower end model has 3 speeds and both intake and exhaust. The exhaust is particularly good when cooking. Think rice, pasta even coffee and condensation. Your range hood fan will not cope completely. If you replace an existing fan keep the motor and blades. They will likely fit your range fan should replacement be required.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Paint the shower pan</p>
<p>Approx. 3 years ago I painted my shower stall and pan. Cleaned it well, then again with TSP, then scuffed the acrylic, TSP again. I used Tremclad white with a 3" roller. 2 coats. For the pan and the corner 'soap/shampoo shelves I added some non-slip grit to the paint. Works great, no Ducks needed on the pan. 3 years later, still looks fine.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hope something here helps or gives you alternatives to consider.</p>

<p>Thanks, I will pass on the kudos! Just thrilled with it. I have many fond early memories of accompanying her to art classes as a kid. The smell of wet clay is still a favorite.

I'm once again exhausted just reading about your progress. Glad you tackled the mechanical problems. So important. You probably know that you tires should have stamps with the week and year of manufacture. Best not to go by looks. We replaced our four. Peace of mind but $$$<br />
Your mom is an amazing artist! I love what she did for you. It's amazing!!!
