I've already got the shower floor tiled (4'x8'- half in 2x2 on shower pan and the other half 1'x2' tile). Im using epoxi grout on the floor, and regular grout of the same color on the walls. Should i grout the floor first, then tile the walls? (walls ar 9' high)

I would work from the top down, leaving the floor for the end to prevent damage to the floor grout.
It should not be a problem standing and working on the ungrouted floor, just make sure the thin-set is cured. Cover it with cardboard or some old carpet or something.

3I want to stress covering the floor, maybe even with 1/4" plywood. Dropping any tools or tile pieces on ungrouted tile can crack them very easy, especially on the corners.– JACKDec 30, 2019 at 21:04

2+1 on what Jimmy Fix-it said. Work from the top down. Walls first, then the floor. And I would do what Jack said & put something down over the already installed floor tiles. Besides the possibility of damage, a tile could be knocked loose if it's not locked in by the adjoining tiles & grout.– SteveShDec 30, 2019 at 22:08

I agree with both Jimmie & jack + @stevesh click on there up arrow and that gives them the + recognition. It can also help the op decide on if it is a good answer, lots of upvotes can help someone that is not sure what to try.– Ed BealDec 31, 2019 at 0:26
