OMG I am so tired of tiling! It seems like this shower has taken forever to finish. Since this is a neo-angle shower, there are a LOT of cuts. In square footage, the shower is about the same size as our master shower. However, the amount of work seemed to double. Here is a shot before the wall tile was started.
I worked on the wall containing the plumbing first so we could go ahead and have the plumbers come to install all the fixtures. That seemed to go fairly quickly. The layer of accent tile required time to dry before stacking any tile on top of it. That made for a multi-phase process...
The other thing that took a long time was tiling around the window. Since I used porcelain tile I wasn't sure what to do where the edges of the tile show. Eventually I figured out that I needed to use a "factory edge" for areas where it would show. These tile are essentially the same color throughout.
Then these doorway pieces took even more time. Wherever there was a 135 degree angle I had to miter the edges of the tile so they would sit flush.
It seemed like it would never happen, but I placed the final tile this afternoon! I still have to grout and clean up the messy spots. But I feel like I passed a great milestone today.
