Planning a bathroom renovation and want to avoid common mistakes. What pitfalls did you run into with waterproofing, ventilation, or the slope of the shower pan? I'm also curious about layout misses like door clearances, GFCI locations, and ordering lead times for fixtures.

Biggest gotcha was waterproofing the shower: do a 1/4 in per foot pre-slope under the liner, protect the drain’s weep holes with pea gravel, then either a sheet membrane (Kerdi) or a full liquid membrane (two coats, 12–24h cure); budget ~$200–400 for membrane and plan a 24–48h flood test before tile.
