The shower’s in, the tub is in, and now we have a toilet. (We are in the south, eh?)
I also have the trim in all over the bathroom. We’ve still got some texturing, and I need to actually install the vanities.

It stinks when you find out that your plumbing is all wrong, but only by a little…

Tub tiled!

- Shower Tiled (dead on)

- Shower Tiled (angle)
I’ve gotten the last of the tile up on the walls. The idea on the surround was to put a double layer of 1/4″ hardiboard in, with our darker shade of tile surrounding it. I’d then add texture to the hardiboard insert using thin-set mortar. I had installed my kerdi waterproofing membrane on the wall and around the top of the tub surround. That should drip any water onto the hardiboard, which is also waterproof, before getting to the floor, which should be pretty close to waterproof…
With any luck, I’ll get this grouted tomorrow evening, and caulked on Tuesday. It’s almost time to get a toilet and install the vanities that we bought a couple of months ago…
I also water-tested the shower. This was a little late… I should have done it before setting the tiles in, but hey… better late than never. After sealing the drain and putting 15 gallons of water in it, it failed to leak into the dining room below. (This was the justification for this major renovation… It has been a year since we were able to use the shower.)
