We finally finished the last major indoor project! This has been the worlds longest project because we had so many other projects going on this summer that we only had time to work on it a few days a month. I think we started it in June.
It is also the most involved shower we've ever done. T made sure it was done to perfection. He used some clever sloping mechanism, poured concrete, used another layer and poured more concrete, put a rubber bladder in the bottom, painted a waterproof seal over the bladder...
...then did the walls, and painted several coats of the waterproofing over it all.
Then we were able to start tiling. We chose a black hexagon for the floor and a white "arabesque" for the walls. He put in two shelves.
He worked so hard to set those tiles just right! I helped a little, but he did the majority of the work. After we got the main parts tiled he installed some metal edging for us to stop at. Then it was mortar, mortar, mortar, wait 24 hours, and then seal, seal, seal...there are a LOOOOT of cracks between all those little tiles! Whew. That was a huge job!
And after five months of on-and-off work we finally finished the tile job!
It turned out beautifully!
I'm so excited that we are almost done!! Just some trim and moldings left to go!
