Did you get a thank you card from the glass guys for that chair rail? :laughing:

I've installed a ton of those foot shelf thingys, nice solution, I like the asymmetrical look.

 

Mapei Chaulking in the Steamer

David and I went to a Mapei training class yesterday and learned a ton of new "Stuff". I showed off my access panel to Luci and 'GASP' it is a no go...

Their Colour matched chaulking not the best product for a steam shower I'm told.

Now I have to go and replace it with some Latsil...

It never ends....

This company, ColorRite, is producing a sanded 100% silicone. I haven't tried it yet, but I have been using their silicones for years. Seems like a perfect fit for your access panel.

Their new website is under construction, so they're not yet advertising the sanded silicone, but they are selling it. If you give Noreen a call, she can color match over the phone. If you ask her real nice, she will send you some color charts.

 

I wanna be, I wanna be... I wanna be like Angus!

 

You're getting there....

 

Not the way I prefer to do a floor but under a time restraint for customer to use shower and dw finisher coming Monday n didn't want him trampin all over the ditra soooo I set the field and finish up cuts on Wednesday... but they're lovin it!!!

Here's a couple of in progress shots from my current job.

 

Hella nice Greg, I'd like to be gettin more floor jobs like that but all I get called for is bathrooms... :/
What's up with the Lowes advertisement though...
I'm gonna try to find a place to make me buckets with my company logo cuz I'm gettin annoyed with the fact that lowes & depot is the only place to get one...

 

John, "Punchout" is the punch list. Final things to complete.

Let me know if you find a company that does do that! I hate that too, and I could give them to customers as a cleaning bucket with cleaning products (as a gift package)

I found a place that buys ice cream by the pail. They sell the pails for $2ea. after the ice cream is gone. I bought all they had 76.

Found them on my local Craigslist. There are no markings on the pails.

 

I think that I'm gonna get stickers big enough to cover the friggin lowes logo for now...

 

We're in the middle of tile on our latest whole house remodel.

Installed the backsplash today (Mandala, crackle 4"x12"):

Powder bath floor (Walker-Zanger hand-cut mosaic):

Starting this in the master bath on Monday (WZ Marble Chevron):

This goes in the butler pantry--mother of pearl mosaic (ultra thin):

Funky, PITA round glass and stainless steel mosaic (shower accent wall):

 

Chris,

I like that pearl mosaic. I've done a few back splashes with similar tile. I like installing them.
