It's been a little dead hereabouts lately, so I thought I would try and liven things up a little.

Post some pics of your current tile projects in progress. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Yes, recessed pots in the shower, we framed into the attic over the trusses and insulated. Rain shower head supply is in there also.

No mitred corners on the glass. Mmmmmmmmm, maybe next one I'll try that.

At the start of this job the HO spec'd as close to perfect as possible. I asked him if we were talking 1/16" tolerances or microns. He thought about it for a minute and said no more than 1/16" would be acceptable. :w00t::shutup::laughing:

yeah cant stand them ENGINEFEARS...........they know to much and cant even turn a screw with a screw driver.:whistling:whistling



Just to make you guys laugh. My step brother is a engineneer for pratt and whitney. Aircraft kid pretty smart. it takes him almost 2 hours to change oil in his truck. He will pull the plug drain it. Then jack it up in different angle to try and get all the oil out before putting the plug back in and adding oil.:eek::eek:

Very nice work Katoman. :thumbsup: I love the look of the solid curb, I often use solid curb sill material, but never thought to wrap the entire curb in solid material. :party: You had to love installing that. I hate it when the customer wants double bullnose on top of the curb. :bangin:

On a side note, I'm really loving that my sills are coming in w/ HUGE craters in them from where they were cut and the place I'm subbed out from who supplies the material won't spring to have them filled by the granite guy. "Hey Josh, just fill them in w/ grout" WTF?! $85 a square foot you are charging these people and you leave huge craters in them for me to deal w/ half assed? Jesus!! I've been filling them in w/ sanded and then matching as close as I can w/ unsanded over the sanded. Better than huge holes, but still not even close to right. That crap is really pissing me off.

They have the plummer coming to put the fixtures in this weekend. I left them a 5gal bucket till then so i dont know why he's coming to you!! Maybe he cant figure out how to flush it.

House was from the 30's. 2in of mud on the floor and walls. Made for a fun demo. My guys hated me.
If you look close ,the studs on the back and left wall are sideways so no depth for the niches. Thats why we had to put the 2 niches and footrest on the right wall.

We raised the shower head and the niches really high cause he is 6'4" and she is 5'9".

It was fun doing this one. Nice break from the commercial work.Actually had to think for a bit! And it was 5min from the house.:thumbsup:
