Anyways, we took advantage of Rus's vacation time this Christmas to remodel the master bathroom at the house since Rus's parents don't actually use the master bedroom or bathroom. I wish I had the before picture to show you here, but it's stuck in Rus's mom's camera, so I'll have to show it later. Let me just say that the previous shower was a 3'x4' box with some sort of cultured marble surround and termites hiding in the rotten step. (We knew about the existence of termites but had never seen them alive...and wiggling. blech.) The bathroom also had red carpet that dated from the seventies and was quite obviously hammered.
So Rus and I tore out the previous shower, framed in a new shower that is twice the size and installed an extra shower head. Rus worked on the shower pan while I did the framing. My dad was here to help us start tiling. The first part we did was the outside of the shower. Then last week Tyler and Gina helped us tile the shower and bathroom floor. I have to mention that Tyler and I worked all day alongside each other, and at the end of the day I was filthy and Tyler, in his white t-shirt, was spotless. Impressive.
These pictures are before the grout was put in. The door to the bathroom is only two feet wide, so there's no great way to get a picture. The toilet is back to the left, and the vanity on the right will be replaced later.
The outside shower wall: This stuff is called Stackstone and looks really cool, but was pretty tedious to install. It comes as 13" square mesh-backed pieces that interlock together.
