Glass


We have some finishing touches to make on our master bathroom (a rather significant amount of finishing touches), but really we are simply waiting on glass. 2 glass mirrors for the vanity and 1 glass door for the shower.  Given the flat, threshold free shower we are installing a frameless glass door.   We are hopeful that it looks right, fits right and that we can drill holes into the porcelain without cracking any of them.  During our waiting game, we are trying to decide what project will be next:  new garage, deck/patio, basement ???

What Problems?!


The tile in our master bathroom is finally done and sealed!  Trent cut and put it all in place, then he did the grout while I hurried along behind him wiping, wiping and still wiping up the excess.  If you've done tile work, you know exactly how enjoyable this job is.  We did happen to have a couple of minor issues during this project.  Thankfully, we've become masters at disguising/repairing/working through the issues.  We did learn something from this project:  while we LOVE the end result, we don't ever need to do this amount of tile (in one setting) again.  Ever.

Very Pleased

I'm very pleased with how the tile in our master bathroom is turning out.  Trent worked on it all week (during his evenings) and all weekend.  It's up and now we simply need to grout the entire room (I can actually help with this phase!).  Once that is dry and sealed, we can start putting the bathroom back together.  After our first tiled shower, Trent informed me he would NEVER tile another shower again.  This is our third tiled shower.  Personally, I think he's pretty good at it!
