That moment I realized my bathroom floor was sloping the wrong way

Started tiling my ensuite about 3 months ago. Leveled everything out with self leveler, thought I did a good job. Then after the tile was down and grouted I put a level on it and realized water would just sit by the tub instead of draining toward the door. Took me a whole weekend to rip up 12 tiles and redo the whole slope. Should have checked before I started tiling. Anyone else had to rip up fresh work because of a simple level check you skipped?

Ripping up 12 tiles sounds rough... but honestly, checking the slope after leveler is where I'd put the blame. You can't trust self-leveler to magically get the fall right for drainage.

Checking the slope after leveler" is the move, learned that one the hard way too.
