Ta-DAH!


Ok--I think it's about as finished as it's going to get....Granny has already used her new shower 3 times--seems to work ok. The workers say they need to finsh off the end of the bottom door strip (cut or file the end I think) and then they want to go over the tiles with some water spot remover---I'm guessing it's a chemical to remove any left over grout or sealer spots. But, I've already been cleaning and putting things back into the bathroom....so now it's just a matter of Granny getting her things re-organized and put away and we are DONE!





Day 6 (+7 days): We had to wait a whole week (I just love construction projects, don't you?) for the colored accent tiles to arrive and the rest of the ivory tiles to be set because they didn't have enough of the ivory tiles with them. Picture to the left is what it looked like for a whole week....




















Then, we got the tile in, the grab bars installed, and a new faucet for the sink which will match the shower fixtures.



This is neat--they put the accent tile around the door frame on the inside--you can only see it from inside the shower. (And don't think it wasn't hard to get a picture of it without stepping on the floor tile!)















Day 7: Shower fixtures added, tile grouted, shower door installed.


Day 8: Grout sealed and walls/ceiling painted--wait for drying, clean and then USE! We decided to replace the existing shower head with one which has a little extra handle strip for ease of holding onto, and then added a mounting fixture on the grab bar.


Well.........what do you think?

I agree. Looks great. I think you may have the same fan/light that we have.
