Yes, I'd never used it before. I followed the instructions of "Workin with Wolkon" on YouTube and it was a bit of a learning curve, but really good once you get the hang of where all the tools are and how to use them.
Yes absolutely, I have lots of CLS in my garage ready to go. Just not sure if 2x4 sistered + noggins between is sufficient to reinforce the joists, or if I should be using 2x6 or bigger.

Have you considered a free standing bath? Won’t help the budget but I think it would look really good there.
Having done (well, designed and then paid an installer) a few things I learnt.
- get quality fixings, you’ll be using them all the time. Hans grohe are great.
- expoxy grout is a PITA to apply but is impermeable once set and incredibly hard wearing.
- porcelanosa tiles at excellent, they are expensive though. They do a sale 4 times a year with big discounts.
- an alcove/cut out near the shower and bath are great as they give you somewhere to put shampoo, shower gel etc. adding a light inside is a nice touch.
- kudos make great wet room style shower enclosures. Get a hinged deflector panel as it keeps water in and is very easy to clean.
- where mount on the wall, toilet, vanity, brush holder, etc. this makes it super easy to clean.
