To discuss with you:
- For change-of-plane joints (wall-to-ceiling, floor-to-wall, inside corners) — what's the best option? Open to whatever you'd recommend. Black wherever it shows.

|---|
To discuss with you:
- Where to mount the combo fan/light — directly above the shower for best steam capture, or more central in the room?
- Toilet alcove light — does it need its own fixture, or does the central ceiling light reach?
