Plastering and painting. My work is second to none better than most! I got reciepts to prove it. Call or message me. My prices are Awesome too.

A radial-arm wet saw would be awesome for this job. But at $800 It is not feasable for just one job. Perhaps there will be some calls for those large profile tiles after I show this completed job!
Those big tiles do not speed things up as I expected. Perhaps if I was a little more used to them it would.

This was Tuesday at quitting time. I ran out of membrane for the shower-pan,, doh! Tiling starts today, Wednesday. Another update tonight.

Those motors are noisy! Perhaps a little insulation might help. Yes, I got the membrane started,, bairly. Lol. Had to plumb the shower wall as it is off almost a half an inch. I find glass doesn't bend much and 1/2inch of caulk is not a good look! Lol. More to come on Friday,, stay tuned.

Tub framing is done,, shower curb is formed for concrete and shower plywood surround is nearly complete. Lost 2 days this week to a snowstorm and materials delivery.
See the 7 plumbing stubs,, measure and drill those and get it right the first time,, see how that goes, lol . I cheated,, I figure,, if measuring causes a problem then dont measure,, forget all that measure twice sillyness,, lol. I didn't measure at all.Got it first try. Pics of that for you on Monday. I bet Terry already knows what I did! Stay tuned!!

That tub surround is just a memory now. I forgot to get a picture of it before I left. Next,, remove the plywood underlayment. That going to be a chore,, got to find and remove every screw,, over 300 of them covered with mortar.

Day 2. I will admit 2 things,, #1 Schulder base had zero leaks over 15 years! #2 Schulder base takes a full day to remove! The tiles cannot be removed from the base without destroying it. Comes up in 3" x 3" peices.
Notice the "pressure equilization" pipes for the body jets?
The rest of the tiles and the tub framing will be ripped out tomorrow.

This project has 4 sections. This is the En-suite bathroom. The tub surround will be removed and a new flush skirting installed with new tiles. The floor as well as the shower. All will be 2ft x 4ft porculin tiles and fresh painted vanity. Wait till you see the tiles,, they are huge. Follow the page so you dont miss the updates! Cheers!
