Are the grout joints silicone? If so, how hard was that to clean?

 

joints are Tec, light pewter, sealed with enrich n seal. shouldn't
be any harder to clean than any other glass mosaic.

 

Just finished this one up on Friday, hand fired glazed subway, Bostic trucolor grout, porcelain marble flooring.

Still waiting on glass doors, as well as a custom vanity she added mid project?

 

Great Craftsmanship:thumbsup: I hate the Tile

 

Great Craftsmanship

I hate the Tile

I'm not a fan of the glass deco strip, I haven't made up my mind on the subway tile they are pricey for what they are!

 

schluter would not approve, but used wedi caulk for all screws and niche

 

any pics of your new capillary break detail?

 

I didn't get any close ups
But just schluter edge at shower tile transition and sealed with wedi caulk

 

What are they using for shower doors. The set looks great by the way

 

What Tile Project Are You Working On?




Just a single glass panel
It's a 5ft shower
This is the 4th shower that I've done like this and haven't gotten complaints about over spray yet. I have the outside shower sloped at entry too

 

Second floor bath and 5 degrees outside. This worked out very well today!

 

It was so cold here the other day the damn hose was freezing between mixing thinset. Made it impossible to work. Couldn't get to the damn faucets inside as there was so much junk everywhere.

 

How else would you finish the edge of the accent band? Client chose this option. I also said I could polish/ease the cut edges of the accent and marble pieces vs picture framing it. Looking for ideas if I run into this situation again. The subway tile goes above it like the bottom.

I would have run a border up that edge and then scribed that piece of marble into the border so it didn't look out of place.

Here's one we did for my buddy.

Gives you an idea what I mean.

 

That's because it's not. Still had a lot to do on that job and once the glass was on looked very good.

I meant the border. Looks like it just stops with no finish.

That's what borders do.

 

I don't dare to comment :laughing:

 

Heated tile floor. With shelves. Bench and niche.

 

What brand cable is in the Ditra Heat matt?

I used warmwire.

 

Not in my book. They are finished not just hung out looking unfinished.

 

Well you best get some more books then. It's prob the most common way to finish tile. Even in the UK it was very common. Damn the picture after mine is done the exact way.

There's a time and place to use aluminum edge profiles and this job is not one of them.

 

I love black jack...until the jack wagon that hits on 13 with dealer showing a 2 comes and sits next to you

I was at a table when a guy split a pair of aces---hit 2 Blackjacks.

Anybody who thinks any other gambling games have better odds than poker, is someone I want to play poker with. Especially craps. It's a 100% game of chance unless the dice are loaded. If you believe poker is a game of chance....I'll host the game

 

Poker odds vary depending on skill, craps remains the same. Pass line is 1.41% house edge. I'd rather play the odds than the person. That's smart gambling. No need to be an expert and you don't have to be so darn serious while playing. Too much work. But for those who enjoy the physiological aspect it's a fun game.

 

Staying on topic about tile, I also enjoy Poker, but only with friends for small money. Social game.

 

I play 2 or 3 times year with a good group of guys. That's how I know I would suck at a real table.

 

So, odds at Blackjack are still .17-1.0%. Even someone with little to no knowledge of the game will still be below 1.0% house advantage. (Unless of course they're throwing the game.)

Except when the casinos change the payout rules, which is really common on the low buck tables.

 

When I play blackjack I never hit a bustable hand, ever. 12 I stay. Let the dealer draw cards. Works for me. I usually break even.

The house likes players like you.

 

I never understood why not play just like the dealer? If the house had the edge with the way they play why wouldn't I have the same edge?

 

Everyone in the world does except Matt.

 

Sounds about like the odds of me getting a BJ from the old lady.

 

Forgot to tell my granite supplier to polish the underside of the niche shelves and the edges under the wall caps. Did it this afternoon for tomorrow. It looks really good after some enhancer/sealer.

 

okey
This little gem is waiting on Laticrete Plasma Translucent so I can Make a lighted Deco strip in the purple area.
The Niche also gets a recessed top light.
The owners wanted a custom sliding "barndoor" door so the curb extends back along the tub. It cants both toward the tub and down toward the shower.
Oh and they wanted the Vent to go in the curb the tile has been sent to the local water jet shop to have vent holes cut in with a thin piece of stainless epoxied to the back.
They didn't have any 2x2 available for the floor so those were individually cut and placed as well.
The bench and tubsurround is mud work.
I used 10 sticks of schluter rondec.

 

couple more

 

Here's our last few projects.

 

Wow Rob...simply awesome! !
