My latest master shower project

Attachment 616090I tend to tell long stories, so I will just say this is my latest project for some customers of mine. They bought a house with a one piece fiberglass tub that was cracked about 8 inches long next to the drain so I tore it out and have been slowly working on it as time permits... some of these pics are cell phone pics :waah:

I presloped the floor for the shower pan..




I replaced the shower valve..


and the shower head had to go up about 16"

A little corner bench added for comfort... I built it with cinder block, and then mudded it nice and plumb on the face and sloped in towards the shower slightly...
The gravel my son and I gathered up is to prevent the weep holes in the upper portion of the 2 pc drain from clogging...

Started the walls high enough to get around the bench... I forgot my camera today but I did manage to get the walls up to above the shower valve, where I put in some glass tile border about 3" high. Then it will have a 12x12 sheet of the same glass tile set diagonally inside the 4 rows of 6x6 tile, with another band of the 3" glass tile... I will be updating in about 1 week when I get back to that project...

As much as I didnt want to work today, I went to the swap meet this morning and then I got the top section set, and the bench face with the mosaic...

After all this work on a Sunday, only one of these cold hand grenades will relax me :metal:

Thanks Alot ! My wife wants this same shower done now :metal:

Got it grouted yesterday evening :metal: With Antique White sanded grout. It looks darker than it will be because it is still wet in the pictures.
