Backsplash is Tumbled Adelia.

The shower is a total of 250 square feet. 10' high! 18's on ceiling and floor. 12x24 on walls. 26" long niche. 41" seat
Quickdrain system and Innovis Better Bench. I kinda like the Better Bench

 

The other side of the shower. a 9' ceiling.

 

Tile made from old skateboard decks. These are all the left over pieces from the shop where they make them. Normally they are something like 1x2 or 2x4 on sheets. The owner came down and gave the distributor these to use.

Very nice.

 

I was diggin that old school floor.
Your work looks great.

 

That's an awesome shower
Does it have a cathedral ceiling and skylight in it?
Very sharp!

 

Thanks.:thumbsup:

Nope....flat (10') and just one window.

Hated working with those glass subways though.

I haven't done tons of glass, but enough.

Seems like it's different every time.
These required a 60% cut face-up, then 50% face-down.
Then...for the "finishers", a diamond hone whetted with 3-in-1 oil to ease the sharp edge and a quick touch-up with oil-based white paint on the backs.

I tried every different methodolgy and 3 different blades before I settled on that plan.
The Glassmaster and the T3 were pretty much equivalent....but I went with the Glassmaster (I bought it for...so I used it on...the glass).

Two different grouts...
StarQuartz on the walls.
QuartzLock 2 on the floor (to match the main floor).

If I had my way, I would chuck natural stone all day. I love slicing and dicing that chit to meet my design needs. Plus, IMO, nothing looks better.
As it was, I had to cut those shower floor tiles out of the 12 x 24's for the main because they don't offer a 3x3....and I wanted a 3x3.

Was originally priced based on 6x12 Carrera......probably half the labor. (don't even ask (I had enough in the whole bathroom to survive it....but not by much IDIOT!)

Ohhhh..
you didn't ask for any of that rant....:laughing:
I always seem to do that to you man.....sorry.:sad:

 

More unsolicited commentary....

If you haven't tried Mapei's UltraPlan Easy SLC.......give it a shot.

Did that whole bathroom in one shot. 4 "rooms".
Hot summer night...4 guys (3 guys and a girl).

20 bags....

and she laid down so sweetly for me.....like prom night. (flat as a board...a good board:jester

In all seriousness you may want to reword that...:laughing:

 

little tile to stone interface.
Micah getting ready to power grout.

 

From this....

To this....

To this...

 

More tile from the tile shop!
Sizing has been good
Just so easy to chip!!
Most of the ceramic has a red clay base

 

Way too busy to visit you guys for a while, here is the latest shower work I have done, I have been using Wedi boards, Schluther drain and trims, Dal Tile TS for shower pan membrane and Tuscan Levelling and urethane grout for a long time.
The client changed her mind about niches soon after I placed the Wedi.
Glass closure is done, but I have not been there since then.

 

This one still in progress,steam shower like the one I did last year. will post once finished.

 

Tried a different method on these marble tiles. did ALL cuts and layout before mixing any thinset. couldn't sleep that night thinking about everything "walking" as I started installing. It ended up working out fine
in the end. Sitting on 7/8" planks, 7/16 O.S.B, 1/4 wonderboard.
these black tiles were WEAK along some of the veining. Like, break in two in your bare hands or while cutting.

 

Looks good. Thats a mans layout right there.

 

Looks very nice. I havent installed any Nero Marquina in a long time. Scratches easy, not the best for floors.

 

This makes me lose my mind especially on mosaics, and i still never remember to tuck in my laces till after it happens.

 

Didn't get a picture but I ripped out a powder room with messed up vinyl flooring(curling up,staining). Turned out there were two layers and in between the two layers was brown stuff i thought was old nasty glue.....NOPE. The toilet had been leaking in between the two layers and fermenting and I almost vomited everywhere!

 

Why'd you do that? All tile needs is support and expansion :whistling

 

Finished the cold roof and started on the windows. That was a 5-Bow window.
