I just finished tiling my shower and am getting ready to grout the tiles. I am going to put sanded caulk at the bottom the the walls were it meets the shower base. Someone mentioned to me that I should put the sanded caulk in the shower corners as well and not grout. Have you ever heard of this? Any help would be appreciated.

Don't worry so much about filling in the corners with grout, get the grout lines full and then take the point of a utility knife and run it down the corner to get the grout out of them then caulk.
The reason for this is cause the grout will crack at these points and be harder to grout over as well :cool:
