This is how we left the shower mid September
What a long strange trip its been...Today's blog will be long on photos and short on words...I will admit to being pretty pooped! We started this shower project at the beginning of September. Then we took a "break" in order to get our wood in and the gardens to bed.
With the outside work done it was time to dive in!
From Saturday - Tuesday we worked on the tile finally--->
I did not always look this happy!
It was a supreme group effort. The group being me, my DH, Google Search, YouTube, & the Schluter Shower Systems 1-800 #!!! I am filled with gratitude that we managed to do this job. We did question our sanity on several occasions! All is well that ends well~~~ahhhh.
We are short a few doodads that we need to complete the glass blocks. Ordered them online. Once the glass blocks are completed we can grout the whole shower. Then shower!
Oh! Yeah! my tip....when I am going to do dusty, dirty jobs I like to coat my hair with coconut oil. It makes a nice conditioner and protector. I use olive oil too but, coconut oil smells nicer!
My FB status yesterday was ---> Shower nearly done ~~~ Marriage intact! We had a few moments. But after so many projects we have learned to find a way quickly past our little lackings of patience. Today we took the day off and had a campfire. It was just what our souls needed!
“Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow.”
