About 1AM here ... a few minutes ago I finally finished installing the new valve trim kit for the bathroom tub, caulked the base, caulked the base of the tub spout, applied a bead of silicone to the seam between the under-mount sink and the granite vanity top since the installer was nice enough to leave some spots open so I was getting a leak at times.
I also had to remove and re-install the new trim piece at the top of the back wall since the double-sided tape it came with sucked.
I bought some new 3M "Extreme" tape, applied it all along the back side that goes against the tile, and re-secured it and it's staying put.
The final look of the valve trim and tub spout:

Got almost finished with the bathroom project.
Installed the new soft-close toilet lid, new satin-nickel toilet flush handle, cleaned the toilet, painted and caulked around the outside/base of the tub, replaced 3 missing wall-bottom tiles, cleaned/vacuumed the floor.

When I think back of how much I've done to this room, it boggles my mind, and I've done it all myself, which I'm proud of, having never before done plumbing/electrical/drywall-replacement/tiling.

Looks great! One of the things I miss about owning my own place, and living there. First thing I did was extend the patio, never did anything like that before and it was fun. Wanted to tile the patio and add a railing, but Uncle Sam said it was time to move so haven't been able to do that project.
