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.

Is that one of those Swanstone showers?

Can you cut those panels around a window? I know, I know, windows in showers aren't the greatest idea. But sometimes people want them.

I have a customer I'm trying to sell a tiled shower to, but she is worried about falling on the hard tile when she gets older. I tried to tell her fiberglass or solid surface won't make much difference if you fall. But.....

If the window runs out the wing wall you can cut around it and mitre the swan trim around it.
If the window is in the 60" wall I route out the window hole (I never use the stock swan window kits, they suck) my corian make me a 1 pc integrated window insert... caulk it, slider into place and run a finished bead. I/ll get to my computer and send a pic or two

Wood Stairs and Stainless Steel/Glass Railings

I recently supplied and installed new prefinished solid wood flooring in this project.My contract also included demo of the wall on one side of the stairway,half wall on upstairs and new stairs matching the floors.Since they like my work so much, the clients also gave me installing new stainless steel railings with tempered glass.Not something I have done before, but search and common sense with some hidden skills, it turned very nice. I had to design the railing configuration and ordered all materials from FL distributor and get the glass cut locally.
I posted first the picture section, but I think it gets more hits here!I will try to remove from other.

Best of a bad situation. This started as just "Please get rid of the cast iron tub and give me a shower so I don't have to step over the tub." They ended up going w/ heated floors and the whole 9. This project evolved into what it is after we already started work.
