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.

Kips boys tiled another for me. I had his setter leave the top niche for me to finish. I'm going to install a side lit glass shelf in it.

Glass gets order tomorrow and the tub will go in next week.

Looking good.

The drain is a Proline.

We framed the wall so the hinge can mount there. I will finish the drywall so it meets the tile and has no transition. Miter'd curb and outside corners = no Schluter Profiles needed and a much cleaner look. :clap:

Just a tile cleaning fool these past two days. Working in Whistler on a clients home making things look pretty. This Kerdi Drain was never cleaned I bet from day one.

Original setter left grout in between the strainer and the base and there is some kind of crust growing inside the Kerdi Drain on the ABS. Yuck.

We used a heavy duty tile and grout cleaner to Spruce up the condo. Look closely at the drain where it meets the grout. The effloresence is everywhere in this Kerdi shower but worst at the curb, niche and drain.

This shower is only two years old. I believe there to many boding issues in this condo as well with the other tile and other shower. I'm guessing about 20% of the tile is not properly bonded. It sounds hollow when tapped everywhere.

Thanks Craig... it's the largest project I've been a part of so far.

This is the other tile we're using. 5"x22" ran vertical.
