Ladies & Gentleman: Meet My New Shower!

This shower project in my master bathroom has been going on for some time - over a month and I am happy to say that it is basically done! Below is the progression:

Here it is half-tiled.....

There were some issues with getting the old plumbing apart, so Chris had to do some fancy footwork to get it all taken care of. I'll be honest - him using that blow torch thingy in my bathroom made me a little nervous...

And that hole is where the new soldered pipe went - for the shower head.

Lots of messy ingredients. I think the grout and the dry wall made the biggest mess of all the stuff we had to use.

Here's Chris tiling the second wall.....

Basically done - except he had to go get his hole saw to cut a perfect hole in the last tile for the shower head....

On to grouting - yuck!

And then comes the glass....

And we had to replace some floor tiles since they got ripped out when the floor was repaired. We couldn't find the exact tile that was already in the rest of the room, but we went to 5 different stores and this was the closest match we could find. You really can't tell unless you're looking for it.....

More glass - almost done!

And here's the shower - in rough form - lots of little touch-ups and finishing touches to do.....

I love the new shower head and everything looks fabulous! He had to seal the grout and do some caulking to finish it. I can't use the shower until at least Tuesday night - to make sure everything is sealed and cured.

Since this was just tile and glass, I ended up with the same problem that I had with the previous shower - no foot rest for shaving! So Chris cut some 2x4's and extra tiles to make this very cool corner foot rest for me! It's still adhering and being sealed right here, so that's why it's resting on the box.

I love the new shower - just LOVE it!

We still have to put the wood trim back on, put the bathroom door back on, touch up paint around the top (above the tiles) and other little things, but I will post pics of the FINAL FINAL shower when it's all ready. I'm so excited for the shower to NOT be in my living room anymore!

Thank you, Chris, for doing all this work - it looks great!
