The Shower as a Continuing Science/Art Project

Tile may have been the corner-turner in the last post, but it is the shower stall that will be the jigsaw puzzle.  How hard can it be to put tile down on a big, flat floor?  (Remember, if it was easy, I'd be doing it!)  The shower is a complex space with slopes and multiple surfaces that must all work together.

The first step of course, is to get it covered up.  With the sheetrock on the walls, it is beginning to take shape.  The niche has been defined and the increased depth is beginning to become obvious.

From this angle, the two thicknesses of 2x4s is clearly shown.  Previously, the wall went just to the edge of the painted area.  It doesn't seem like much, but it will be a great enhancement.

Oh, yeah.  The toilet is still in the garage...

The shower will continue to be the focal point for several more days.  Plan, measure, cut, fit, adjust, glue, adjust again... you get the idea.  Art or science?  It's anybody's guess!
