Shower Stall
15 03 2009
Today we finished painting the bathtub (sorry no photos) and putting in the waterproof membrane in the shower stall. The cement board was installed last week and the new cedar ceiling on Saturday so the only thing left to do to get the bathroom ready for floor tiles was to install the membrane. We’re leaving the wall membrane till later as the plumbing for the shower fixture needs to be roughed in yet and we aren’t getting the plumber back till we have the floor tile done and tub in place, sort of a chicken and egg thing.
We have also sanded, planed and routered the baseboard for the chase and applied two coats of danish . We will be adding a coat of carnuba wax on top of that and they’ll be ready to go on. We have definately turned a corner to finish work on the house, tomorrow evening I will be picking up the finish paint colour and some more trim, and this week some serious cleanup action will happen so we can work with the trim in a clean environment!
Here are some more photos of the shower stall, imagine the floor with tumbled hexagon tiles, the curved wall with polished hexagon tile, the flat walls with polished rectangular tile, and the floor outside the shower with 12″ x 24″ tiles. Hopefully the floor tiles will be installed next weekend!
