It's actually not quite flush, there is a very small overhang of maybe an inch or less. But yeah, I am kind of wishing there was a little more length there if for no other reason than actually finishing that corner is turning out to be awkward. I'm mulling whether to do a thin corner strip of water barrier or something. There will be a shower glass ( specifically this one) but a small amount of water is inevitably going to get under or around it.

A good tiler should be able to take care of that.

Looks great. Those things on the tile are going to be a pain in the ass (toes) when you go to the bathroom.

Might want to paint them to glow in the dark so you don’t trip in the middle of the night.

I only have the one bathroom so I made it a big one. It's a 6 foot tub, too - https://www.acritec.com/product/lady...bs-whirlpools/

I have those covers on my eavestroughs/gutters to keep crap out. Had them installed over a decade ago. They’ve accumulated very small debris (dirt, mostly) which I’ve cleaned out in the areas that are easily reachable. I’ll hire someone to clean the higher ones.
I’m curious if anyone else with these covers experiences this? The lower ones that I’ve cleaned were about a third full. There was a lot of construction activity in the area hence all the dirt.

After looking in the morning though I am a little disappointed. They were very careful with the layout which makes it really odd that they installed some of the tiles that have stains on them like the below... I have like 30 extra tiles so it's not like it would've been hard to select the good ones.
If anyone has suggestions as to how to get these off if they even can come off I'm all ears. I have CLR.

I think that discoloration is natural. Is there a glaze/finish on the tile or is it unsealed at this point?

The one in the unspoilered photo is a stain from tape. The spots are from something dripping on the tile. It's present on like 5-10% of tiles.

Barkeepers Friend is usually pretty good at getting stubborn stuff off of tiles. But test it on a spare tile first just to be safe. It works great on the porcelain tiles I have in my house, but it is a mild abrasive so it's worth checking first to make sure it doesn't cause any issues.
It comes in a powder, but I usually just use the pre-mixed liquid kind (called "Soft Cleanser" I think?).

Make sure they do the grout sealing for you or use grout that doesn’t need it. My least favourite thing I got stuck doing afterwards.

They're just removing and replacing the bad tiles and the thinset behind them. Since they were just installed the past 2 days and weren't grouted it isn't as hard to get them out, I guess... I hope this is OK at least.
EDIT: Spoiler for larger than intended photos.
