I think a huge part of the issue is the space I am working with as it is hard to get comfortable, on the floor, dealing with the shower tray etc. I am to the point where I wonder if I should just pay someone to do this; however, I then think, this time I fix it will be different.
Does anyone else have a home maintenance issue that vexes them?

This was the bane of my existence about 2 months ago. I had about 8 feet in my kitchen that needed silicone between the counter and the backsplash. I messed it up twice before I finally just used painters tape.
I placed one strip on the counter and one strip on the backsplash with just about a quarter of an inch gap. Applied the silicone, ran my finger along to smooth out, then pull off the tape.
Took about 5 minutes and turned out absolutely perfect.
